OK, my 2 cents worth.  SPF only gives the receiving MTA the ability to
validate the from address.  It doesn't make sure they actually check it.
I would suggest that the logo be something like the back of an envelope
with an old fashion looking 'wax seal' with SPF in the center of it.

Down the road you could add a second wax seal with CID or something else.

This logo would signify that emails sent from this domain have been sealed
(in a way) to provide evidence as to the REAL sender.  (Kind of like the
King that used his ring as a seal so others would know the message came
from him).

Well, it's an idea anyway.
