Hi,

What is the logo going to be used for?

The logo is already in SVG: the current "3D" logo as shown on the
website by Hervé Flores, and a "2D" version I made intended for
color limited printing where gradients may not be an option.

I also attempted to find out information about the typeface, but I never
got any replies from Hervé Flores who created the current logo, so I
ended up having to use the text outlines from the attached SVG file
'fflogo-flores.svg'. Better than nothing and still vector, but not
ideal.

Note to future self: I recommend usage of a font with a free license
for any official redesigns.

Please let me know if you find out. If not then I'll ask him via a
letter.
