I like the SPCR recommended logo. It would be cool if you could click it and have it take you to a list of links to SPCR recommended products.
I thought the recommended badge cheapened the conclusion. There are sites, like Madshrimps, that give these badges to every product that comes across their desk. They never met a free piece of hardware they didn't like.
It seems like a good cross marketing idea. Asus gives SPCR a product to review. The product earns a badge. Asus hopefully updates this particular product page to include the SPCR badge which links back to the review page.
However, unless the badges are exclusive to truly outstanding products, they have little meaning at all and SPCR's reputation gets tarnished in the process.
