Agreed, more clarity is needed here. Certainly the community logos should be exempt from such restrictions. It would be great if all marks could be flexible in this regard -- at least as flexible as Google is with their Doodles! -- but I understand there are unresolved questions about how best to handle this.

This can also happen on the meta talk page for the community logo.
