Obviously your mileage may vary, but our experience with GeoTrust has been
that the TrueBiz certificate is also issued very quickly (within a few
hours) as long as you get your ducks in a row beforehand (domain name
registration matches company name, legal paperwork ready to fax).
I love the idea of QuickSSL for "utility" certificates where someone just
wants encryption for their site. If they care about the logo and the
perception that goes with it, then it seems to me that the benefits of
authenticating the company info (TrueBiz) instead of just the domain
(QuickSSL) are probably worth the extra hassle.

P.S. I have to admit that Verisign's seal looks a lot more formidable than
the TrueBiz seal. The dynamic content is great, but maybe GeoTrust should
get some marketing and graphic artist folks together to come up with
something that looks more "trustworthy."

Subject: RE: Anyone have a QuickSSL Premium Seal?
You can see a Quick SSL Seal example at www.apartmenthardware.com
The QuickSSL Seal has only the name of the domain in the seal, while the
TrueBiz has the actual organization.
Reason being that the key difference between the two types of products is
what is being verified by the Certificate Authority.
QuickSSL is verifying the domain itself (with the approver email that is an
approved contact for the domain) While, True Biz ones are verifying your
organization (thus the Proof of org documentation)
There is a chart at the following link that will outline it
for you.

Subject: Anyone have a QuickSSL Premium Seal?
Can you provide me a URL to see it or tell me how it differs from the
TrueBiz seal? (you can see the TrueBiz seal here: http://send-it-secure.com
)
Does the Premium seal also have the company name on it? What happend when
you click it since it does not have business ID ?
