A question regarding the following statement:
[...] but give your bot a different name
When I use a GitLab project access token as the bot account that runs Renovate, is it permitted to use the name renovate[bot] in conjunction with the Renovate logo? Its username would be something like @project_123_bot_4ffca233d8298ea1 and its email address would be project_123_bot_4ffca233d8298ea1@noreply.example.com. For instance, GitLab's project landing page would render the following component
where only the logo and name are be visible, but the link target of the name is the user page of the project access token
so it's clear that this is not an official Renovate bot user.
What's the policy in this case?

It's ok to use it this way as it's a private group service / not shared

@rarkins how about making an "official" unofficial avatar/logo that people can use for their version of Renovate bot? Then we can simplify the instructions:
- Only the "real" Renovate bot (Mend hosted app) may use the official logo
- If you are self-hosting Renovate, use this different logo
The idea would be that the new unofficial logo is related/on brand to the official logo, but still clearly different.
