Use your imagination. If someone wanted, they could use any of:
* Plain text (obviously :)
* Rendered text, as seen for example in the left column of
<http://www.ldraw.org/>
* A screenshot/thumbnail (almost certainly fair use if it's not too big),
with or without accompanying text
* A picture of a polar bear in a snowstorm
* A picture of a polka-dotted hippopotamus dancing on the head of a pin
* etc.
Just because no graphic image is supplied for the backgrounds sub-area
doesn't mean someone can't make and use their own if they wanted to. (Not
that anyone would really ever probably want to make their own, when the
background images already speak for themselves, but anyway.)

No. I removed the embedded flb-logo-small.gif image from the HTML code on
the splash page. The logo is still there, but it now exists as HTML text
rather than an embedded image.

No. It never was the only choice available (for links), and isn't now
either.

Correct.

To compose a logo for it would be one thing; to use an image in tandem with
a link is another thing.

Indeed it is. However, you wouldn't expect me to not to address incorrect
statements about the rules of linking, would you?
