you are all looking at a web graphic. Allready rendered as process 
colors. Its impossible to say how many "printing plates" its on. 
Obviously its more than 1. But that graphic could easily be a spot color 
print job, Which I think by today's standards is acceptable. And I 
believe you stated a logo should be free of "screens" You only need 1 
plate to do a screen, so this is also irrelevent.
