I'd caution against such usage, as the stitching will break proper
polygon trimming and possibly connectivity scanning. (More details on
geda-dev).

Use for logos should be fine - although "might" cause asserts with PCB
built for debugging. The stitching rather relies on a corner case of
polygon support, so let us know if you encounter any bugs..
