I don't think we need to do anything more than complete the .png metadata fields

Dublin Core Entities: title, date, creator, publisher, holder of rights ...

and chose a license, perhaps 

or for developing libraries http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

and perhaps for the Boost 'official' logo
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/

This can easily be done for .pngs and svgs with several tools, including
Inkscape.

A no-cost option ;-)
