This is a piece i am working on from the original. Same company using it. This was a personal logo, not a corporate one. I am aware of the other, this was just a project for playing about with my design skills in AI
Whether it was personal, or corporate is irrelevant. It's someone else's creation, and copyright. You still can't display it on your portfolio,
especially without a disclaimer. Even then it is still dodgy.
By all means practice recreating logos in AI to figure out new techniques, but you can't display the results publically. A potential client wouldn't know that it wasn't you that designed it, and if I was the guy that originally designed it, personally or otherwise I would be majorly annoyed.

As stated this site is still under construction, i just needed place holders to get a feel for the template!
Still under construction, but LIVE, so I would recommend taking down anything that you haven't designed yourself, or removing the site from the live host until it is finished.
There is no reason why you can't use a blank image to space out portfolio items, and design the template.
I realise this may seem like a harsh reply, but in the words of Peter Griffin, this kind of thing "really grinds my gears".
