From a legal standpoint, yes.
From a marketing standpoint, however, we'd be
needlessly weakening our own
branding. The average reader, seeing two logos shown,
will assume that
there are two separate organisations involved in some manner of partnership.

Should we become an official Wikimedia chapter, we can
use the
Wikimedia logo in conjunction with the Wiki Society of DC logo. They
can be used alongside each other, divided by a vertical line, for
example.

Attached are two PNG versions of the proposed
logo. They're not meant
to be separate logos, just two versions of the same one, where the use
of either would depend on the context. One version has the text of the
name, designed for situations where the text would be large enough to
read (i.e. banners, posters, large promotional materials, etc.). The
non-text version is for use in social media, postcards, notepads etc.,
where the text otherwise would be too small to read. Let me know if
you have any questions, comments or suggetions
As far as I know, all Wikimedia chapters use the same basic logo.
(Basically, the Wikimedia Foundation logo
<http://wikimediafoundation.org> with "PLACE" instead of
"FOUNDATION".)
I don't know if you guys really want to be spending energy coming up
with a new logo if you won't actually be able to use it as a formal
chapter. If you guys were just planning on using this until you were
an official chapter, then never mind. :-)
That's the primary intent, since it's unclear when we might be recognized
as
a chapter.
(There could be, I suppose, circumstances in which a chapter might need
to
use a non-Wikimedia logo -- it really depends on
how the phrase "related
activities" in the chapter agreement is interpreted -- but that's a
theoretical subtlety that may be of limited practical applicability.)
