I tried exporting it has SVG 1.0. If you open the SVG file in a text
editor (it's XML) the logos that don't render correctly have raster
images encoded inline. I believe this is why they don't render
correctly.

Also It doesn't matter what the problems are, we still need to
separate the logos and provide them in alternate forms, EPS and a
hi-res Tiff image. You can't send 10 images in one file to press...
It's not how the print industry works.... Like I said in my previous
post, I'll do the work but only if I get a nod from a commiter with
access to the website.
