I'm not an expert, but we can proove (not only from our website, but 
with e.g. GNUstep CDs) that our logo has been around since a long time, 
prior to the existence of that band.

A naive strategy would just to contact them to notify the use of the 
logo without any "menace" and see what they reply. At least a peaceful 
attempt before starting wars.

The issue is "they". the band? the managers? Before going to the label 
itself or the app store
