I’m only able to find these two:

Surprised the lawyer didn’t state a registration number of the alleged infringement if it was at all a registered trademark owned by Lenovo.
My revised idea: Da Vinci’s man and god fingers touching at… the Framework On button:
To get the button nicely centered between the two hands, it would need to move to either the center panel, or the center of the right panel. The symmetry would look nice though.
This could be embossed onto the orange plastic:
Oh come on! Nobody is going to confuse those 2. Unless your 3D printer is set up horribly wrong, the Framework case is a much better quality.
Anyway,
I’m not a 3D modeler, so I’ll just make this quick sketch.
The letters are embossed debossed (oops, messed that one up). Not sure how deep that can be in order to keep structural integrity. I’ll leave those calculations to people who actually know this stuff.
The wall is 2mm thick, so at most 1mm. But 0.5 should be sufficient for the writing to be readable.
Here is my submission for the re-design, I wanted to make sure it was printable so I made a little sample (printed great), I don’t have a full mainboard to test it on, but it has the same total size of legs (4x 1.5x1mm instead of 3x 2x1mm) so I think the stiffness should be pretty much the same.
i made a thing its not perfect but hey not a professional here ya got to pay for those if ya like it email me if not have a nice day

For symmetry reasons i would also add the other 2 horizontal lines in the gear.
Here is my submission, print in place with framework logo inlay. Haven’t tested the print yet, new printer arriving tomorrow.
@devryd I tried this, and it is certainly an option, but IMO it looks kinda weird and is less distinguishable as the framework logo, you also run into the issue that the tabs either start to get too small (want to make sure this works for anyone’s printer) or too stiff.
Two variants for consideration. The first one sort of more belongs as a fan grille, but I still think it’s pretty effective as a power button alternative.
Here’s my spin with text extracted from the Framework Logo. Still need adjustment with chamfers for button longevity/stiffness.
Why don’t you just use the framework logo, it looks awesome as a power button
