Re: Icons

Hardly. Validation proper is meaningful only for documents with a declared
document type definition. The W3C Validator FAQ is rather outdated, but it
tells the essentials:
https://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#icon
Of course, you can use the XHTML 2.0 icon if you like; nobody can prevent
that. And your document might actually conform to the XHTML 2.0 DTD. But
XHTML 2.0 never became anything more than “W3C Working Group Note” (so not
a specification or anything close), and I don’t think anyone is, or should
be, interested in conformance to that.

What you should do, IMHO, is to stop using any “icons” purported to show
conformance to some HTML, CSS, or other specifications. Whether you conform
or not is of no interest to the visitors, and claims on conformance are
just disturbing, or worse (especially when they are false, as they often
are).
