If you want to use the actual W3C logo (the left part of the icon), you cannot change it. If you search for "change w3c icon" on Google: http://www.google.com/search?q=change+w3c+icon You get this as the first result: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/logo-usage-20000308.html So, if you want to use the W3C logo, you have to keep the original colour. Now, I don't think there's anything in the guidelines preventing you from using the W3C _logo_ and creating a different _icon_ (ex., the original W3C logo and then a black and white part saying "Valid CSS"). You just can't (according to the validator icon guidelines) create "derivative work": http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#icon-deriv In other words, you can't use the same icon and just change the colour, but I think you can create a new icon from scratch, even if it uses the _original_ W3C logo. But since you want the icon to be all in grayscale, it's probably simpler to just create a completely new icon, saying "Valid HTML" / "Valid CSS" (without the W3C logo) and use those as the links.
