Yep, I hesitated to use that word, but I don’t call them “people.” I’m referring to the policy… 
A logo is a “visual language,” and graphic designers are the people who work in that domain. You’ll find that almost no professional designer can use the logo without breaking some rule in that policy, so legally, the logo is unusable as it is.
The only workaround I see is to create a similar but different ‘community’ logo that could be recognized as the Elixir logo.
P.S.: The policy itself would be fine if there were an official logo that’s just the “drop,” but there isn’t. It’s quite unfortunate.
