Comment(by mmadia):

 Here's some images that show how the system degrades gracefully when the
 trademarked logos are removed from the prominent places.  Even though
 Installer looks funny, it remains functional.

 I tried replicating the look of the 'alpha 2' text for "W.I.P.", but can't
 figure out how the bucket-fill erases were done.  Would such a logo be
 acceptable to denote "built (& provided) by the Project, but is not an
 official release"?

 The attached patch shows the direction of implementation.
 Oh, src/apps/installer/InstallerWindow.cpp can be ignored -- for a while,
 I was considering making Installer display prettier when there's no logo.

 A much larger concern is "Haiku" as text -- epecially as it's in countless
 catkeys.
