+No, that is not a requirement for a logo.
+The already mentioned logo of the "Deutsche Bank" has needed an explanation. 
+The meaning of the Ubuntu logo, which I think is one of the best logos so far, 
+wasn't clear to me the first few years.
+
+Many logos didn't have a meaning and are good at all.
+Logos need to be simple, recognizable, scaleable and have to look good in 
+monochrome as well as in color.
+
+The marketing guys may want to add some points, which I don't think at.
+
+Just try to imagine the logo at the collar of a shirt or at the icon in the 
+adressbar of the webbrowser.
