I wouldn’t worry much about it. Posting a logo for purpose of discussing a logo is absolutely fair use!
Can you imagine if everyone had to get written permission from Facebook to place a graphical Facebook logo link on their site?
I think the clear intent here is to clarify that what we’ve gotten used to with the Steem logo cannot be done with the SteemIT logo... The Steem logo is incorporated into people’s personal signature banners, it’s been turned into cartoon characters, printed on shirts and mugs for sale, etc. That won’t fly with the new Steemit logo, but I’ll have no hesitation placing it on a personal site as a link to my Steemit profile page.

She didn't post the logo as we've seen it branded. She modified the logo by turning it into an animated gif and making it flash.
I don't know if Steemit, Inc. approves with this "version" of the newly created logo (flashing colors)
It might technically be considered fair use. I am not a lawyer. However I will not be using the new logo just to avoid "technical legal issues". :)

Fair enough, I wouldn't criticize anyone for using some caution, but I'm seeing some people posting comments that they're afraid to even use the word Steemit, as if typing "Come check out my Steemit blog" on their Facebook or Twitter profile will get them sued.
Everyone just needs to calm down and relax. I really believe the two main drivers (as with any other site) are not to illegally merchandise the intellectual property, and not to use the property (logo and name) in a way that could confuse someone into thinking your project/blog/site is in any way officially sponsored or endorsed by or is a part of Steemit Inc.

I know, it's gotten quite silly pretty fast. Each time someone replies to me with the steem-t or steem-- way of talking, I explain to them, it is only if you are promoting and marketing your own stuff using the brand name and logo (as if it was your own or you were authorized) does it become a problem.
Prior to this new logo, people were printing steemit and the blue logo on t-shirts, mugs, posters, everywhere. You can't do that with this new green logo.

@offgridlife claims I told him repeatedly to remove it.
The only thing that occurred is that he had used the logo and then said he removed it (himself), and replaced it with a Ghostbusters logo.. to which I said.. that wasn't much better because that logo was also copyright by Columbia Pictures.

The usage of the logo would fall under fair usage and you wouldn't get sued for it. Same circumstances of using any other company logo. Infringing in direct copyright is quite different to using it as a reference in an article.

Well it has been announced and i just made my post via my personal account @oluwoleolaide and stated that it clearly there that it is the Property of Steemit, therefore no Court Case!

That is not true again. You CAN use the word Steemit.
Look, if I was talking about Microsoft (noticed how I just used their brand name) I could do that...
Please be careful running around on the STEEM blockchain saying "bits" of conversations and making assumptions. You're not looking good by doing that..
