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: http://www.debian.org/logos/ [1]
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.
