I did suggest it precisely for the cover page.  Raster graphics need to
have really high resolutions to look good in print, and if they do then the
resulting files are huge.  Also, scaling is an issue so one needs multiple
versions of the image in appropriate sizes such as icon, cover page,
website, etc.  I mocked up a cover page in Texinfo using two of the logos
that Fotios has drawn.  Once we have a decision on a logo I can
try, perhaps using an @multitable, to get better alignments.
