They will probably say yes, but if they say no, you have saved yourself some potential trouble if you had done it without permission. You could certainly say "engraved with Finale" without permission, but it is the use of the logo that is questionable in my mind.

I think adding the Finale logo might look a little tacky. Traditionally, publisher and copyright information has always been typeset very unobtrusively. To have a logo sitting there screaming at you seems to take something away from desired "quietness" of a well laid out and spaced page - a look that should focus the performer on the music and be easy to read.
And what if a person that is inclined toward Sibelius looks at your product and assumes, wrongly, that this page would probably look much better done on Sibelius?
I clicked on the link to your website and your engraving is beautifully done. If you want to add the logo, yes, I'd ask for permission.
