Help me replace my company's google calendars with something slicker.
My company is currently using google calendar to list company events on our website. These events are education and promotional events marketed to the public - this isn't for internal corporate use. Gcal lacks some features we need, primarily in the area of display - marketing wants to use our brand color scheme and gcal won't let us. We're also very close to the edge of prohibited content in the google user agreement, and it would suck to come into work one day and find that our calendar has been erased.
We need a new calendar that can:
- provide control over color scheme etc
- allow us to include graphics in extended event listings
- be hosted by us (on a unix box) or a third party
- if it's hosted by a third party, they shouldn't prohibit adult content
- if it's not free it should have a track record of great support
It should also allow us to display multiple calendars on page or break them out individually, allow multiple users to edit and offer rss feeds, but those are pretty standard requirements.
I'd try to work it out with gcal, but the adult content thing worries me. I'm finding plenty of other calendars, but none of them seem to allow images - I would be a hero to marketing if I can get them images on the calendar. I've looked at Mosuki and Backpack, among others and, while they're good at what they do, they don't offer the customization we need.
What are your best suggestions?

It's not 2.0/Ajaxy, though.
