I noticed that 1.4.11 non-text contrast does not exempt logos under Graphical Objects. That is inconsistent with the exemption for logotypes in 1.4.3. Is it intentional?

If it's not intentional, perhaps it's a candidate for future errata? It is unlikely that WCAG requirements will get companies to change their logos. It seems like an unreasonable ask.

The understanding document includes a section called "required for understanding", which has examples of graphics that are out of scope, including:

The graphic is part of a logo or brand name (which is considered "essential" to it's presentation).

Is that the sort of thing you had in mind?

The group discussed this, and are happy with grouping logos under 'essential', as organisions will generally consider their logo an essential thing to display in the intended fashion.
Please re-open if you think another approach should be taken.
