It's not a font, it's a shape inspired from original logo :)
I don't know what is needed but I transfert all rights of my logos to 
the freemarker project. :)

Great, then we are all set.

ASF already owns your contribution, so... :) Actually, now that you
say this, it would be much cleaner if you make a pull request out of
this. The images (with names like logo-square-<something>.<ext>)
should go into the https://github.com/apache/incubator-freemarker-site
repository, under the src/main/image directory (that directory doesn't
exist yet, your pull request should create it).

So, it should be rather a pull request... sorry for that.

Julien has already filed a ICLA so we should be good with that.
