Well there are a lot of people in the community that would probably be
willing to give it a go. I posted a recent example of a web page banner
over in the "binaries->images" newsgroup to give you an idea of what
POV-Ray can do. All the fonts that are available standard in Windows can
be used, as well as many others you could download for free off the web.
Here's a link to my other post:

As far as how Google or Ebay does their logos, I'm not sure. You can do
quite a bit in the paint programs available nowdays, but for a real 3D
effect, POV-Ray is the way to go.
