FWIW, Christian did spec on the web page about MgOpen Modata, "Solely  
for informational purposes, the logo font is VAG rounded. The font  
Modata, in the mgopen package, is closely based on this font". Here's  
a side by side comparison with largest bitmaps I could scrape from the  
site you linked me to. Black is VAG, grey is Modata; I'd say the "f"  
is the main tweak to stand out:

We do need vector format, any bitmaps will likely be noticeable on a  
large poster; I can buy a copy if needed, it's not expensive (but pity  
is won't be a font any SL volunteer can use).
