SPF compliance means return addresses are valid.  So how about
an envelope (a rectangle) with "SPF" and a checkmark in the upper right

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.

I do agree with the issue brought up about the logo and the branding.
What about an old fashion Knight's shield with a
sideways mailbox profile in the center with the flag up.
or
Two mailbox profiles.  One on top / one on bottom.  The one on top would
have it's flag UP (sending mail) and the one on top would also have a "male
type
appendage" attached at it's base (a key, or an arrow, etc).  The mailbox on
bottom
would have a "female shape" that is the identicle shape of the "male
appendage"
on the upper mailbox.  The bottom mailbox's door could also be open to
signify it
is accepting mail.
One could easily see the top mailbox had a "key" to fit the bottom mailbox.
