Like I said - most of them have registered shell companies in these specific countries to outdo these regulations. For instance - the Force India Whyte & Mackay decals? They become Whyte & Mackay Music CDs. With Music CDs in small lettering.

Yes but the whole point is those sorts of logos are banned in Bahrain. It's not a matter of the actual alcohol being banned or anything - it's the advertising that's banned.
