Hmm.   What if someone designed a logo, assigned COPYRIGHT to the image to
the OGF, and then the OGF used a clone of the D20 trademark license to allow
people to use it only if they are complying with the Open Gaming License?
No lawyer fees, just an artist to design a logo (and perhaps that would be a
staff artist from some company that does OGL stuff...), and a license and
files available for download.

People who used the logo without actually using the OGL would perhaps not be
sued (waste of resources), but would be publicly mocked by everyone in the
know and shunned by their peers.
