This would contradict some existing standards.  For example, all 2xN
bricks and plates currently have the N oriented on the X axis.  Under
the stud-logo orientation, they'd have to all be rotated 90-degrees.

Also, the stud-logo should be oriented so that the top of the logo is
directed toward the front (or top, depending on the part) of the
LDraw-world.  This would require the logo to appear upside-down in
LDraw's default view.
