It's fine :)

It's an issue of branding. I can not for the life of me think
of a single FOSS project that is not readily identifiable by
it's logo. While I am not convinced that the logo that Zach
has had designed is completely unencumbered of trademark and
copyright issues it's far more modern than the simplistic
communicator badge icon that's been in use since the dawn
of mankind (personal opinion, obviously).
Whether we adopt Zach's logo or not I feel that we do need
a new one to help identify the project. There is, of course,
no reason that the current badge icon can not remain the
client icon and favicon.icon of the website, etc.
