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.
