First off, thank you for carefully reading and respecting the license! The important question is: who's font is it? Many companies use our license for their software, and it's up to the company you got the font from to provide any legal answer to your question. You do not have any obligations to the ASF or us, since we didn't create the font. We are all volunteers here on this mailing list - not paid - and we can't give you legal advice; you'd need to ask a lawyer for specific feedback on what your commercial company can do with these fonts. However, I can say that I have seen a number of other logo designers using Apache licensed fonts as part of their logo designs. I'm not personally aware of any legal or commercial issues that the logo designers faced from their work. So in most cases I've seen, you don't have anything to worry about.
