I agree that this is not a logo incorporating the letters 'ePUB'. but a logo with the letters 'ePUB' stuck on as an afterthought to comply with the requirements of the competition.
However, as a pure logo it's not that bad. Easily recognisable. No-one outside the US is familiar with the Enron logo. (Well, I'm not.)
I think the delay in announcement was probably caused by needing to prepare the official downloads of the logo.
The green colour is, apparently, Pantone 376 for printing, or C 56%, M 0%, Y 100 %, K 0%.
The RGB values seem to be R 133, G 185, B 22 or #85B916. I suppose having a 'web-safe' colour is not really important any more.
Looking at the EPS file, the logo part of the logo is split into five equal sections. The corner radius is a bit odd. If you take the logo as being five units across, the corner radius is about 0.3865. I would have hoped that the corner radius was (say) 1/3 or 2/5 or 3/8 or some rational or exact decimal fraction of the width of the line. It doesn't appear that it is.
Still, it is now what we have. Time to start using it!
