All i can find is the 300x90 one on wikipedia, i'd like to have a larger one for prints.

You can download the icon sized graphic from WP or the marketplace and drop it into Google Image Search.
From there it's easy to find the original sources where they got it from, like this one:

Use a color selection tool to fill it in with the same green color.
It seems to generally be called "Camel with Rider", and there are color versions, like here:

But they obviously modified it.
At least it's Creative Commons licensed. We wouldn't want SR to break the law! :)

Now I'm interested in tracking down the original artist.
It was uploaded here on 9 April 2008 by a Gerald_G, but he doesn't claim to be the creator (that is left blank)

I wonder if the original artist is aware that his/her work has become iconic in cyber drug culture. :)

Nice find. That's probably the exact image that DPR used. The different shades of green are exactly the same.
I think the font is Verdana Bold or something very close to it.
Here is my attempt at a high res version of the logo with Verdana Bold:

I'm a graphic designer and I can make a Vector version of the graphic for you. It will be sizable to unlimited proportions, like a professional logo should be formatted.
it would take about 1 hr to complete and I would provide you with a huge JPG version, a B+W version, a transfer version (screened) and a vector illustrated version.
It would be done with Adobe Illustrator.
Let me know. I would charge about 1.2 BTC and you wouldn't have to pay until you are satisfied with the result. All proofs sent to you will have PROOF embossed on it until you pay. Its a standard task I do in real life.
Just PM me.

You wouldn't be planning on making T-shirts and hoodies with that large graphic.... would you?

I just used the graphic you posted, did some retouching, recolored it and output a decent size. A vector graphic size would be nice for printing, but for most apparel type applications this png will work fine.

Oh, I misinterpreted your comment before. That's pretty cool that you made that.

Bumper sticker, of course. ;)
