For the life of me, I can't find this somewhat common mark online. I see it on a number of electronic products that should not be disposed of in the trash, but haven't been able to discover who, if anyone, administers this mark, nor a source for a vector file (eps, ai, etc..)

Anyone have the information up their sleeve or better at the Google for this?

Found it.

I think posting questions to the board seems to be a great way to find things whether or not anyone else does the searching.

Just minutes after posting I stumbled upon the answer myself:

European Directive 2002/96/EC (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) specifies that logo for recycling.

A simple search for "weee logo" finds this image without fail.

As opposed to a GIS for "weeed"...

Yeah. Anybody who works in an office in Europe will know that logo well. Its a hassle and pretty expensive to dispose of equipment.
