Submarine patents also mean that one can't know all the patents that read on something one does with a computer (just ask MPEG LA's sycophants; as they were on my blog defending the logic why Apple avoids implementing Ogg Vorbis, a patent holder claiming to have something that read on MPEG-related codecs sprang up from out of nowhere). So it's tough to say that Fraunhofer's patents cover all. Besides, even within that timeline 2011 leaves plenty of time to lose a patent infringement lawsuit. Not a moot point.

It looks like an ink bleed or blend. The edged blue I used is the closest I could come with my limited Gimp/Photoshop skills. Does anyone else know how to achieve the effect I am referring to in the original logo? There is some specific filter in the mp3 version I don’t know to reproduce.

I would make them both the same. It looks a bit weird that “ogg” is blurry/fuzzy and “100% freedom” is sharp. I would make them both the same.

I have since fixed it and added an inline display of the final image. Yeah, ecto horked the relative URLs when I first posted. I have since fixed it and added an inline display of the final image.
