This is a strange attitude to take when earlier you said:

...which would assume that these are meant to be taken as
official community-sanctioned flyers, regardless of who is
paying for them.
While the synergy between the community (e.g. pgsql-advocacy) and
a commercial company (Varlena LLC) can benefit both parties, there
is clearly a delicate balance that must be struck. In this case,
I agree with Marc - if you are going to print out and distribute
flyers at the PostgreSQL booth at OSCON, and have asked the community
to not only proofread but make a prominent link to the flyers, then
the community certainly has a right to ask that you put the correct
logo on them. If these flyers are meant to be the exclusive property
of your company, please let us know up front, so that the community
can produce its own non-branded flyer. If you want to sponsor the
flyer by having a prominent link to Varlena LLC on the bottom, that's
great, but the final determination of the actual content should belong
to the community.
