Section 8i of the US Flag Code states: "The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown." So using the real flag as a logo probably isn't a good idea.

BofA looks somewhat like a real flying flag, at least it incorporates the colors and doesn't look like a livery for a hearse lease company.
