May I suggest that a suitable solution to the logo issue is to quote the 2nd
freedom of the GPL, which states you have "the freedom to change the
software to suit your needs".

http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html

It may be that someone's "needs" on this list specifically exclude any logos
and/or undesirable menu options.   If they then choose to "convey" ( the
GPLv3 term), or "distribute" ( the equivalent GPLv2 term) the changes they
did to the software by providing it in such a manner as a publically
available online media ( eg SVN repository ) , then they are 100% compliant
with the GPLv3, so long as they  "place his or her name on it, to
distinguish it from other versions and to protect the reputations of other
maintainers."  (
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyDoesTheGPLPermitUsersToPublishTheirModifiedVersions)
.

So essentially, feel free to remove logos and undesirables, so long as the
modified version clearly states somewhere ( eg in the code) that this is a
"modified version" or similar, and who the original author/s are, etc.

Buzz.
IANAL.   But I know *my* rights with regard to the GPLv3, and other people
logos aren't in my interest. :-)
