We noticed that some of the default icons that are used in the platform contain the edX® trademark logo. The examples that we know of are:

These icons have been added a few years ago and there is no easy way to replace them, if you don't count some CSS shenanigans. It is our understanding that these icons wouldn't make anyone liable for violating the trademark/copyright (although I'm not a lawyer). At the same time, since these repositories are meant to be used by the community, we think that it shouldn't include edX® trademark logo. We've received reports about these icons from our clients for whom we are hosting instances, and we also believe that it could be confusing for their users to see edX logo on the courses that are not associated or affiliated by edX.

We would like to request that these icons are replaced with the variants that do not contain the trademark logo.
