I notice that in the images for tests 2, 4, and 5, the blue/red/green Wikimedia logo is shown in all blue. Why is this? I would think it would hurt branding. Is this even allowed, according to the identity guidelines?

Thanks, Yair - we'll update the mocks. It's a good catch, but mocks are just that - an idea of what we want to do but not necessarily the final product. :)
Thanks Yair for bringing this up.
I confirmed with Heather Walls, our Creative Principal in the Communications team who leads all our branding efforts and she is happy with the one-color WMF logo as long as it is black or grey. Infact, the foundation has been using the one-color WMF logo in places like the Transparency Report (https://transparency.wikimedia.org/) and the Annual Report (https://annual.wikimedia.org/2014/ and https://15.wikipedia.org/) for a while now.
I have updated the mocks and changed the blue color to grey. @DTankersley (WMF) will update this page soon with the updated mocks.
