It'll be interesting to see if someone
tries to force them to remove
the trademarked Wikipedia logo from that site.
According to the footer on that page:
"Wikipedia image, in its distorted format (c) Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. is
used pursuant the fair use doctrine"
IANAL but that sounds pretty demented to me :-)

Well, yeah, in my opinion it's a pretty obvious case of fair use as
far as the copyright goes. Doesn't Wikipedia have a tag for "logo of
a company on a page about the company". The case for dilution is
trickier, but still probably fair use (if it's even dilution in the
first place). I think it'd be a horrible mistake to sue them over it,
but hey, it'd be an interesting thing to watch.
