I don't know for sure, but I don't think its from a named font, rather 
it is probably hand drawn. (Designers tend to create a lot of partial 
fonts for customers because of licensing issues.) Very few typefaces 
have Ds that are wider that they are tall, like the one in the current 
logo appears.

The main red that I chose to use in all the variations so far is 
#DD0000, which was entirely a coincidence, but I do like the 
association. In those top two images, 90% of the time they took to draw 
was in the selection of a shade of pink that I thought contrasted nicely 
between the red and the white, but that is obviously very subjective.

What is Black, white an Red all over?
There is a named colour called Outer Space (#414A4C), but I think its 
meant as a shade of wax crayon. It doesn't look too bad however with, as 
you suggested, redder shadows on the moons.
