I wanted to use the logo last year [1] in an advert on Stack Overflow to drive more developers towards Commons projects (see [2] for the 2014 H2 competition). Because of the usage of the Apache Feather, there was debate over whether the Commons logo could be used without further permission. In the end I opted for safety and emailed our trademark folks for some input. Sadly I received none and the advert idea died. I would be in favour of a new logo that we can use freely.
