I would say though that focusing on having a logo is limiting our approach in my opinion. You quickly recognize a Ubuntu screenshot due to their orange theme for instance, or a mac screenshot due to those 3 red, yellow, green buttons on their window decorations. So even without looking at the logos you quickly identify those systems when you see them.
