NordicMan Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Wow I didn't know that either, thanks! I was going to guess a "G+" cache is family friendly so, in part that would mean the cache was near the ground, so kids could find it too Quote Link to comment
+Snake & Rooster Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I would not have known what it meant either. Quote Link to comment

+undertree Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Look for this 'G' to be written/scribed/marked on something near or next to the cache: Ok, I'll bite - what is the significance of that particular symbol? Royalty free logo of all things geocaching. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 That is actually called the "Gx" logo, not the "G+" logo. As in, G for Geocaching and X for X marks the spot. The public domain logo resulted from a forum thread I started in 2002, asking if we should have a logo that wasn't copyrighted by Groundspeak. That way, the graphic could be altered freely. Groundspeak will often permit use of its copyrighted logos without a royalty (personal non-commercial use is addressed specifically in the logo guidelines). But Groundspeak cannot and would not allow its logs to be altered or customized. This would erode its intellectual property rights. One other note: before you go out and blaze a "Gx" symbol on a tree or spray paint it on a concrete wall or barrier, remember the "no defacing of property" phrase in the listing guidelines. When I find a cache that relies on permanent markings, I go home, change into my reviewer's lab coat, and archive the listing. Quote Link to comment
