Here's what I did for Five:

It absolutely does. Celery only please. I felt that just a stick of celery sitting there would be awkward, so I incorporated a bit of the costume into it. Does it detract from the celery? Yeah, it absolutely does. Celery only please. Fine, I'll do it with just celery, just to demonstrate how ridiculous that would look. But, seriously, why do we have to be concentrating on the celery, anyways? We're simply trying to use a symbol that truly represents each Doctor, and the above picture, in my mind, represents Five much more than just a stick of celery! It conveys his personality.

I disagree completely on your mindset on these logos. The 70s UNIT logo, instead of Bessie, which represents Three's Doctor much much more, which wouldn't be able to fit anyways? A stick of celery instead of an edge of his costume, featuring the celery centre-stage, with the rest completely in the background? Pocket watch, I understand. Totter's Lane, I understand, although I personally would choose it as a changed logo to only appear the week/day of November 23rd.

But what is the purpose of the logos if not to convey each Doctor, their personalities, and their era? While UNIT may reflect Three's era, although only to an extent, Bessie covers all three topics: it shows his personality, it was something that his incarnation cared dearly about, and it was the centre of his life exiled on Earth, aka. the first half, and the most remembered part, of the Third Doctor's era. The UNIT logo in no way describes Three - to absolutely zero extent - particularly as that wasn't the life he wished to lead.

Now how does the stick of celery represent Five's era? His personality? No, the celery on its own means nothing - the fact that it was on his clothing showed his personality, which affected the atmosphere of the show greatly during his era. Other options, if you don't like what I did, might be cricket or his half-moon glasses.
