Actually, if you remember, we had to do some things over because the logo was not used correctly, but they were gracious enough to foot the bill, since the expense was significant.
MBUSA does NOT own the rights to the logo, so they wouldn't and couldn't approve any non-standard usages.
For a company, their logo is one of the most important things they own, and any non-standard usage sets a legal precedent that dilutes the logo's value and defendability.
