The design notably leaves out the logos of the operating systems that Wine actually runs on. Using it would look like a deliberate attempt to mislead consumers, which is what I imagine Microsoft's lawyers would be arguing in their trademark infringement lawsuit.

Microsoft logo.

A larger version of the current one, however, should be feasible.
