Meucci was recognized as the first inventor of the telephone by the United States House of Representatives, in House Resolution 269, dated 11 June, 2002, written and sponsored by Rep.

Agreed, this seems like a reaction on the criticism the Bell logo drew. The Meucci logo looks much nicer than the Bell logo too, IMO. Reminds me a bit of the Da Vinci logo, in spirit and style.
