I suspect that the intent of 6.1.2 is to say:

        _Subject_ logotypes derived from ....

That is, that we SHOULD NOT render a logotype we can't trust.  We  
implicitly trust the issuer logotype, which is what 5.1.5 is getting  
at.  I think that with that (nearly editorial) change, there isn't any  
inconsistency.
