Ubertubes order of operations

OK, so I was wondering, regarding the ubertubes, everyone has assumed that the "autonomous score" portion of them are not included in the logo bonus. However, this is not made clear in the rules (unless I am missing something).


Consider the following:

Three ubertubes are in a row, all placed on the top row during autonomous (impossible, but this is theoretical). That is 18 points. There are three pieces over them, making a full logo. Thats 9 points, doubled by the ubers to become 18. However, this is the tricky part. The logo bonus doubles all pieces on the rack, as stated in <G66>. 18+18 is 36. 36 doubled is 72. Thats a game winner right there.

Quote:
<G66> If three LOGO PIECES form a LOGO, the assigned points from the SCORING PEGS in that
row of that SCORING GRID are given as an additional LOGO BONUS, effectively doubling
the score of the row.
Completely unrelated question, that is best made by illustrating. Is this a logo? They are three, consecutive, horizontal pieces in the TRIANGLE CIRCLE SQUARE arrangement. If these were, then the 72 point strategy could be within reach.
