I will look into the concerns (GPL font exception) raised by Tres.
Which license would be useful for a logo ?
Logo comes under trademark ? not copyright ?
I couldn't find a any suitable license. Any CC variant ?

I think something like this would be fine:
http://www.python.org/community/logos/
http://plone.org/foundation/logo

He created the logo in Inkscape and he will give us the SVG.

He is working on the finishing work (in his free time).  I told him to
not go for any
major alteration.  We will wait some more time.

Let's focus on documentation for time being.  We will look into
logo, website and other cool stuffs in parallel, but very slowly.
