To be clear, one can use the official Lucene logo for this purpose, right?
I don't know. IANAL and all that good stuff. When I read some things, it's not obvious to me, and I've had a some discussions with people that make me even more unsure :-)
Apache doesn't want its trademarks used to describe other products, but other folks using the Lucene logo to refer to Apache Lucene is fine. So a link to http://lucene.apache.org/ whose anchor is "Powered by <Lucene Logo>" is legally fine, if perhaps graphically suboptimal.
At any rate, I was just proposing something that is more "graphically optimal", to paraphrase your terms. Something that is unambiguous in it's usage terms (because we explicitly say "use this", versus, "we're not sure if you can") and helps spread the Lucene brand, I guess. A powered-by logo would make it clear, in my mind, but I'm fine w/o it too.
