Indeed, now they are available in Insert > Special Characters > Logos.

However, if I export to 2.1 format and then reload that document in 2.2
beta2, they *are* converted to the logos.
Something has been overlooked here.
I agree. Should export to 2.1.x convert the (non-logo) text "LyX" to ERT?
If we want to do something here, then that is probably the best
solution. It's not obvious to me that this is a huge bug, but if someone
noticed it....

If you have a document only partly completed in 2.1, graduate to 2.2 and
continue to work on it there, then you will have a mix of logos and text
forms for LyX, LaTeX etc. in the pdf (and, like me, will probably expect
to get the logos simply by typing the names as in 2.1). Yes it is only a
small thing, but in a world where there is a clear wish for such
programs as microtype to prettify the typesetting, I suspect it needs
some attention -- at least a clear mention in New in LyX 2.2 on the Wiki
(and in due course in the Announcement). I can't see anything there at
the moment.
I noticed it when working on my pLyX system, trying to upgrade it from
the current contraption to something more workable. In the documentation
there are myriad references to pLyX, LyX, LaTeX. For a new anonymizing
script, I arranged for \SpecialChar forms to be bypassed but saw that
some references to LyX, LaTeX etc. were bypassed as expected and others
were anonymized.
