The font used in those images seems to be Cholla font[1], which is not a
free font.  So, it would be appreciated if you re-make the logo with
Fifth Leg font, which jimmac designed as an alternative to Cholla font
for community use[2], so that translators can replace the words by
themselves as they needs.

Fifth Leg font package for openSUSE is available via 1-Click Install.

Although Fifth Leg font doesn't include non-Latin characters like
Japanese, Chinese, etc., it seems to include accented characters as well.

Best,
