If I remember correctly the logo and the agreement with Commodore behind its use were the main asset A-EON wanted when it approached Wayne to purchase amiga.org.

Partly right. Wayne was looooong gone when that happened. A-EON bought it from DiscreetFX.

Wayne Hunt got Commodore's permission to use the amiga.org domain in 1994. The logo that is currently in use was introduced much later: it features the BoingBall and the red diamond, elements introduced by ESCOM. A quick check using the Web Archive suggests the current logo design started showing up in 2001.

Obviously. They started using the amiga.org-Logo on completely unrelated commercial products like the Enhancer bundle pretty soon.
