I was thinking of picking it up but the campaign looks very dull

I'm getting it anyway. You can't go wrong with Platinum Games.

What's with that 'A' in that logo resembling the one in RAGE?

Loved playing Vanquish and Bayonetta back then. The game has released in Japan on July 5 says Wiki but I can't seem to find any reviews? Not even from Famitsu and the likes.

How long is single player campaign ?

Can't say for sure. The description says it has 2 different set of campaigns for 2 of it's protagonists, with each one offering up to 10 hours gameplay.
