Ack !
Whilst I am supportive of temporary (as in "24 hours") fun logo for 
special events, setting up a permanent derivative logo is really wrong, 
in particular when it refers to a nation.

Can someone talk to them and explain to them it is not okay to do this ? 
I would be interested to know the process followed which led to such a 
decision. Might it reflect internal bias or a misunderstanding of the 
nature of our project ?
