Its not really a problem, since the funds are basically from strong arming manufacturers with "royalties" and EOMA68 so far has been an ethical project. Indeed a logo is a brilliant idea, and use of it only by certified products would be excellent. I think also you should be prepared for Chinese clones, they'll definitely happen, the question is whether you'll make it easy for them to be proper ones.

 Indeed there is no need for royalties, and the lack of it is worth advertising and will grab attention.
 I also think you should advertise the low power of the standard that's a big plus.

 Which exposes one of the problems that Open Source/Spec/... projects have
 compared to Closed ones. Things like royalties do provide cash for things like
 marketing.
