Which lands right in the trap I think should be avoided. I don't only think that it would be nice if the logo can be generated in LaTeX and CSS without recourse to an image. I think it fits the spirit and nature of Pandoc and is a desideratum and a Good Thing. Not that my opinion has any weight but I hope jgm will consider it. At the very least it also diminishes the risk that people (ab)use a bitmap image where vector graphics are appropriate.
