It is of course very nice of Virgin Unite to match the donations
received today. I would argue however that having a logo in the
site notice is basically an advertisement for Virgin.

There is nothing wrong per se with advertisements, but it is my
belief that that logo is a bad precedent if Wikipedia's goal is
to be advertisement-free.
