The source is the SVG file already committed to trunk ;) Just open it up in Inkscape or similar and edit it. It's using paths instead of actual font strings, but originally I (and gregg) have used Droid Sans for the "Powered by" text ans Syncopate Bold for the APACHE text. Both are ASL and easy to find on Google's font page. With regards, Daniel.
