 Well maybe this is something the SIG can incorporate into it's mission.
Increase awareness of indie developers and their games with the game buying
public.  You could argue that your $20 spent on an indie game is a better
value than $60 for the latest shooter/sports/movie game from BigPublisher.
Maybe some sort of logo program sort of like the ASP
(http://www.asp-shareware.org)?
