I managed to create an account, and seem to be able to buy directly at lucasfonts [1]
However, according to the license agreement "LucasFonts gives you the right to use the enclosed font software on one (1) printer and up to five (5) computers at a single geographic location." In order to play the game by the rules, this might be a good point to change the logo slightly and move to open fonts.

Reading the logo_guide this bitstream vera sans is intended for copy font (website, handouts) - we have no record of the two fonts used in the OSGeo logo itself. Reading in the SVG files it shows that these logos were generated by adobe svg export (sigh).

I have a bit of trouble reading the silver one logos (since the shimmer effect fades out the top and bottom of the word and I read by word shape). Thanks so much for your contribution!

Thanks for the Link Cameron! Too bad all the label are path elements rather than text elements. Does anyone of you know which font is used in the logos?
