Máirín is asking this partly because I think that some of the existing
sub-logos on that page break our own rules about how to use the logo.
For instance, not using complex pattern fills (instead of a solid
color), and not letting other elements (the cup or the brush) overlap or
collide with the logo.

I think these rules are important
- to keep the brand visually distinct
and
- because I think the lawyers told the board that it was necessary.
 
Thanks Máirín.
