You cant patent (or copyright) the usage of a typeface (aka font), only the original font(ie if you own the font, and use it for something, the font maker has no claim on what you made). that said, Radioshack most certainly has a trademark on their logo. If it is to similiar to their logo, they can sue you for diluting their trademark (which they are legally required to do if they want to keep their trademark). I'd wager your creation there would be considered parody, and be protected under copyright. I do not know how fair use applies to trademark.
