Yes, I think.

I think that require remove or replace centos-logos. (E,g: https://fedorahosted.org/generic-logos/ )

And, I think that require remove or replace "CentOS" trademark.

Check CentOS release note section 9.
https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7/#head-d58ad86f1b5399bb36755532321b1df4f242a88c

Is this is correct ?

Thanks.
