There is no reason why we couldn't do this. All we need to do is have 
those two images access an actual wiki image, just like the logo in the 
top-left corner is actually [[Image:Wiki.png]] (correct me if I'm 
wrong). Granting access to change those images to sysops only is way 
enough to ensure that any necessary restrictions are met (e.g. the 
MediaWiki one must mention MediaWiki and must not change the MediaWiki 
logo).
