While on the subject, I've been using this method to put our logo onto
pcbs. It gets the job done, certainly, but some things have been slightly
problematic.

- Changing the size of it in the PCB is not possible. This is ok, though if
there is a way to do it I'd like to know.

- The SVG-converted-to-silk lives in a PCB file, for me. I then import
layout from file whenever I need it. However, the layer on which the silk
graphics show up is not always silk. If the number of layers changes, then
the elements I want on silk show up elsewhere. Is there a way to fix this?
Footprints know how to put features on silk irrespective of layer count and
ordering. Can the mechanism used there be used here as well? At present, I
have different PCB files per logo size and per later configuration.

Thanks
Shashank
