Thank you for the clarification, Mark.
So this means we have some artistic freedom in choosing the logo?
Personally, I'm not sure whether we really should aim at restoring
the historic logo. IMHO this ornate font with 3D appearance reminds
me of the nineties and has slightly gone out of style. Just take a look
how the Google logo changed over time [1], for example.
I think it's time for a more modern layout. Let's have a competition.

Because after all, the shape of the logo is an
essential part of the OpenSSL 'trade mark'.
Although the current website logo as of January 2020 was used as the
specimen to show our use of the trademark at renewal time, our
official trademark registration is a standard character mark: i.e.
"The mark consists of standard characters without claim to any
particular font style, size, or color.".
