Yeah, I believe the intent was to decorate it somehow. But I agree we start walking a fine line as to what begins to compromise the logo. The flag idea could work. An idea I had was to leave the logo as is and overlay a polygon or outline representing Brazil onto it. Although given the logo that would not work in all cases.
Perhaps Rollie (CC'd) can chime in with some ideas. Perhaps the answer is no changes to the logo period, and find other ways to make the site specific.
