There has been work in other communities
regarding distinguishing between
"official" and open-use community logos. For instance, you can see
Debian's dual logos here:

And we have our own open-use community logo, although not widely
recognized yet. Please take a look at:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_Community_Logos
Since we also have the benefit of an official Foundation logo, perhaps
the project logos can themselves be open-use. What are the problems we
are trying to avoid, and what things that we want are being held back
due to licensing issues?
For the latter point, there is a joy of creativity and
project-identification when a WikiProject develops its own visual
identity, whether that is in the form of style guidelines, unified
template or infobox format, or icons and logos. And there is a wider
remix culture around a project that is encouraged by incorporating
community icons into images and other media in innovative ways.
