You may ask them what license the work is under, and if it is open, whether they still have the source and would not mind sharing it with you. Alternatively, you may request them to make an Arch version.

I am glad you like it! I put two new "more reflective" versions to this page:

This should be fairly simple. It's just about tracing the logo and then extrude. I may try it, but the last time I did something in 3D is about 5 years ago.

Well, even the tracing part can be skiped, because I can see there's Archlinux logo in SVG.

It took me about 45 minutes to learn enough blender to create a quick draft of a 3D logo:

image: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=33n98uu&s=5

blend: http://ge.tt/6SDaLGz/v/0

Now it just needs some proper materials and lighting and cleaning up the arrow.

The blend file and the screenshot are licensed under CC0 (ie. public domain), so anyone can finish it up. Don't forget that the logo is still copyrighted.

How about using Luxrender¹ (LuxBlend for Blender)? It has some pretty good default materials and would come much closer to the requested Ubunutu logo rendering. ¹ https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/luxrender/ ² https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/luxblend25/

Yeah, I know (luxrender is my package ;-)), but it always crashes for me with this scene. I need to fix that.

Hehe ;) Just a quick shot at your scene with LuxRender: http://arch.coderkun.de/logo/arch-logoLux.png http://arch.coderkun.de/logo/arch-logoLux.blend Rendered about ~10 minutes.
