I don't believe that maps should be displaying logo's, but rather the buildings or units of the player.
Am I the only one who feels that the decals on buildings not being commercial for a team or their sponsor is a missed opportunity?

Absolutely about team and sponsor logos. But why shouldn't a map display the logo of the tournament that's using it? (Which the GSL does already.)

I think if a map is made for a specific tournament that makes much more sense, but I also agree that having 10 versions of a map is confusing and bad for map popularity (i.e. getting to the top of the custom games list)

I agree there, but this is easily solved. If tournaments want to use an in-house version of the map with their logo, they don't have to name it so that it will conflict with the other versions on bnet. It can be a random code if they want, doesn't really matter since the admins host the maps anyway.

Calling something NASL Antiga Shipyard only makes sense if the map itself is altered, like they did. Having different versions of maps like that is a different issue, and they need it to be named NASL Antiga so that players can search for it to practice on it. Changing a decal logo in the middle of the map doesn't affect the players in any way and then the tournament map can be called "banana8tuy7z3" and is only used when hosted by that tournament, and no one cares or knows the map file is called banana.
