4$\begingroup$ The comment I was going to make was: I'm pretty sure there is in fact a simple nonogram in this puzzle. (And lo, there is.) $\endgroup$– Gareth McCaughan ♦Mar 2, 2017 at 17:18

Final answer is
or perhaps I should say
PSE.
I confess that I only bothered going this far by strict logical inference
before allowing myself to make the obvious assumptions about the structure of the solution, leading to this (where white and yellow should now be treated as equivalent):
whereupon it's clear how to get to the solution at the top.

1$\begingroup$ After you had mentioned the "nice thing" in the comments I noticed the positions of the empty rows and columns and suspected a nested nonogram (Nonogramyoshka?). But you had a headstart of an hour and I had little hope of beating you. Nice, indeed! $\endgroup$– M OehmMar 2, 2017 at 17:21
