All that's perfectly fine. As Andreas said, there are no guildelines, as
long as you are not using material that's already trademarked and
copyrighted.

Using a GPL font for the logo surely won't force us to abandon the ZPL,
no reason for concern there. The logo is nice, by the way.

One thing to note: While you or the designer work on the logo, make sure
you have a few vector graphics like EPS files as well, those will look
the nicest if someone wants to use the logo in a printed publication.
