Packages containing their logos and images. 'redhat-logos' is one of
them, but there may be others.

No. You cannot modify these packages.

The license on redhat-logos appears to expressly permit that. However,
their claims about their trademarks would imply that it is not; but it
seems those claims are unsupportable.

Not to be a smug Debian user, but the only answer is a distribution
with a real committment to remaining Free.
