Perhaps useful for argument’s sake, the Wayback Machine has the GNUstep home page archived from January 1997, with the logo prominently displayed throughout the site. [ http://web.archive.org/web/19970127185353/http://www.gnustep.org/ ]. The “About GNUstep” link there contains credit for the logo by Ayis Theseas Pyrros, and this text is still present on the current site.

I'd suggest contacting them to stake your claim, other than that I don't know.

This is because one other concern would be if they became sucessful enough,
they (or their agents or publishers) may turn around and claim the project
is infringing their rights/property in the logo.

Which could be problematic if they file a suit.
