There's been talk about reconstructing the 3D version for a while, mostly 
because some of the characters are incorrectly mirrored. Apparently the 
original 3D version was lost. So it would be great if someone could fix 
that, make a back side, and transfer copyright of the resulting 3D model 
to the Foundation.

It's easier to defend the trademark if you have the copyright as well, 
which is why the Foundation obtained the copyright for the current logo.
