2 colors in the actual logo is one thing.
2 colors in the image is another thing.

I think there should be 2 colors in the logo, but the image may contain
shades of gray (say 16 shades of gray). The shades of gray are for AA only,
the logo itself must be in 2 colors only.

Again, I think there may be 16 colors in the logo, but 256 or 16m or
something in the image (for the AA only).

I think AA should be allowed.

16m icons exists too. Splash screens is just one of many possible uses.

The submission formats are supposed to be *examples* of how the logos could
be used. We don't need to present every possible format, I think. Also, how
often would you use the logo in a rather small format, and how often would
you use a screen-size version? I think small formats are more common for
logos, so a majority of small formats in the submission formats would be
best, I think.
