Play on famous logo's

I have made few logo parodyies like this one which I was going to include with a phrase for a submission:

My question is: Is this allowed or would it get rejected on grounds of copyright infringement (thought I'd better check before i submit it lol).

I was actually going to bring this up in that post. The other examples you brought up are okay because they resemble but are not the actual existing logos, whereas in your Facebook design you're using their actual copyrighted logo, so we'd be unable to use it.

If you made a shirt that said "'I "friended" your sister "' and Used a parody of the facebook logo for Friended you'd be ok.
