Should be fixed shortly.  Glad someone was paying attention (more than
me).  I forgot that EPS files were .eps not .svg.

Agreed.  The reason for selection is exactly that - not every logo format
will match every podling website.  We want some selection, but try to match
contents as much as possible.

Which are you considering the "official" one?
Sally can probably speak to it better (CCing her) but I believe the new
"powered by" were supposed to be the sign off allegiance.  Is up to the
podling which format they want to use as their allegiance.

You'll note that I removed the SHOULD.  The interpretation is that its an
optional requirement.  I don't think that's quite right, and I considered
adding the MUST, but ultimately left it equally ambiguous.  How strongly do
you feel on the MUST?  I would rather see it than not see it.

I don't plan to add this to the policy document.  Its not policy, its
guides.  The policy does link to guides, so it is linked.
