(be that because of poor sight, poor reading ability or perhaps because they only know the thing they want by its logo) Even if we had the right under copyright law to modify these logos, we'd not want to do it, because we're trying to display a trademark image in order to refer to the related service. It strikes me that the names of at least some of these services are also trademarked, so the text is presumably also immutable to some extent.
