The new logo is not part of the pull request. It's already on
the site. If there's a legal problem, we should probably
revert that.
The exact text on the site of the original author [1] is
COPYRIGHT © SUKIMASHITA 2006
ALL FREE TO USE. ONLY SELLING THESE IMAGES IS PROHIBITED.
I'd understand that to allow derivative works, but disallow
selling them. I'm not a lawyer, though.
If those terms don't allow us to mess with the logo, what kind
of statement or license do we need from the author?

The same site also says, under "Guide": "Ease creation of
derivative art (icons, banners etc.)", which is certainly not
an explicit legal statement, but gives an idea of the author's
intention.
Could we just redo the logo? I think it looks like our D has a
cancerous tumor. How about just cutting off the big growth, and
moving that little dot (in the upper right) into the center of
the D. Also make the center of the D pure red so the dot stands
out.
