The new logo is not part of the pull request. It's already on
the site. If there's a legal problem, we should probably revert
that.
The exact text on the site of the original author [1] is
COPYRIGHT © SUKIMASHITA 2006
ALL FREE TO USE. ONLY SELLING THESE IMAGES IS PROHIBITED.
I'd understand that to allow derivative works, but disallow
selling them. I'm not a lawyer, though.
If those terms don't allow us to mess with the logo, what kind
of statement or license do we need from the author?

The same site also says, under "Guide": "Ease creation of
derivative art (icons, banners etc.)", which is certainly not an
explicit legal statement, but gives an idea of the author's
intention.
