I personally think it's an illegal glove, but the procedure here (so far anyway) as been to ignore it unless it is brought to our attention then disallow it.

Stated was a Junior College game; that is played under NCAA rules. The NCAA rule is:

10.13.3 The pitcher shall not wear any item on the pitching fingers, hand, wrist, forearm or thighs that an umpire considers distracting. This includes a batting glove, sweatband and loose lacing on a glove, or ballcolored logos. Exception: The pitcher’s fingers, hand, wrist, forearm or elbow may be taped for injury, providing such tape is a neutral color.

I don't see any possible misinterpretation; ballcolored logos on the glove are only illegal if an umpire considers it distracting.
