| The general idea is to avoid graphics if possible since text only
| documents still have an important function. ASCII graphics has been
| mentioned in the past.
Would cryptographically signing the source files (and possibly other
single-file formats like pdf or html-single page) perhaps provide a
solution to provide an authenticity check instead of a trivially
duplicated logo? It doesn't need to be full-blown cryptography
involving elaborate keys. A relatively simple hash function like md5
will do as a rudimentary signature.
