If you're okay with Postscript, then I'd suggest embedding this as an external graphic, instead of trying do draw it with groff primitives. See the attached files as an example. I copied the drawing instructions for the logo verbatim from the Troff User's Manual (the Plan 9 edition, I think, since it's set in Lucida Sans), so I guess it's somewhat of an "official" rendering, although the coordinates are probably munged a bit as a result of embedding in the PDF.
