The HERO is decentralized - I don't intend to dictate how it is marketed. I've got no objection to someone adding a HERO logo of the type you suggest. It certainly is a member of this technical group (although privately derived).
On the other hand, it can have a symbol that looks like a coin too, if one catches on. This particular logo is merely the old Class of 1976 edition, but its what I'll have to use until a better one comes available.
I do like the HEROic wreath though...
Dat rainbow Apple...
