Yes, this is exactly right.
If an MUA displays a "sender's logo" like th

I don't see how you're disagreeing with me. BIMI is a complicated if-then
statement. If X, then do Y. It says nothing about doing anything else. I
didn't say displaying non-BIMI images was contrary to the spec, just that
it was something outside the spec. BIMI's value is not dependent upon MUAs

Does the BIMI spec *require* that *only* BIMI-authenticated messages can
have
As an aside, I find it interesting that the BIMI Group doesn't have
a Verified Mark (no PEM specified in the "a=" parameter):
https://bimigroup.org/bimi-generator/
Just type "bimigroup.org" in that form and see the results, which
show their logo followed by this
By publishing the BIMI spec. No one's required to follow the spec, but if
they don't, then they're not doing BIMI, and that's not the fault of the
spec.

The image has to be specified in the DNS, and it has to be certified w/ a
VMC. The VMC certification process includes checking if it's trademarked.
So, in order for a trusted brand's BIMI logo to get spoofed, the email
would have to be DMARC-authenticated and the logo specified in the DNS
would be

You're right -- I was in error on that because I forgot about that
point. Thanks
To elaborate on Marcel's answer, so he doesn't have to waste time
explaining it all over again, the "different logo" won't be displayed by
the mailbox providers, because it's not the authenticated one.
