Sounds good to me. I'm +1 to allow the user to define the logo in the
ColorTheme. It would make creating a custom look for your wiki much easier
by providing a unified location for the 2 most important parts, colors &
logo.

I agree but I don't think it's that important, it's just a matter of
wording.

What would be more important would be to make the "create new color theme"
button more prominent on the ColorTheme space homepage and make it even
easier to create a new theme (I know there's already something in the works
regarding this). Last, we'll need to link that space from somewhere in the
wiki (or maybe give it an administration section of its own).
