Well our idea is that people generally just use one logo or that they
cycle through when the movie is played. The example of three logos onto
the screen in my shot is how we did it in this first release as it was
easier (people can of course choose not to overlay them at all).

We are also planing on switching to SVG, but some more code is needed
for that :) We can't get to everything for our first release :) (which
we did yesterday btw :)
