I'd question going with the co-workers on this one, but I tend to favor not 
interfering with the artistic image at all.  I think too much screen real 
estate is taken up with all the logos one could use to describe various aspects 
of the work one is trying to see.

"Honey" is licensed under a CC license, and you learn that in the end or 
reading information about the movie from the website.  To me, that's just fine 
because most of the time (particularly if I'm only watching the movie) I 
wouldn't care if what I was seeing were CC licensed.

Also, on a more technical note, unless you're packaging SVG logos and resizing 
them depending on the dimensions of the movie, won't bitmap images get to be 
too small to read with a large dimension movie?
