What it means
The rule warns if cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party in a UBL invoice or credit note contains cbc:LogoReferenceID. In UBL this refers to the buyer's logo. EN 16931 has no business term for this buyer logo reference.
Why it matters
EN 16931 does not use this logo reference in the buyer's party details. The check concerns the reference element, not the invoice's PDF layout.
How to fix it
Delete cbc:LogoReferenceID from cac:AccountingCustomerParty/cac:Party. If your invoicing software adds it, ask its supplier to exclude this element from the e-invoice export. Export again and recheck the file.
