Hi Björn,

I've just installed some revised logos. Let's see how we scored
with respect to your comments from May [1].

We are still using the old blue. Other blues were introduced in error.

We improved the (R) I believe.

We are no longer content negotiating PNG/GIF and SVG/EPS.

I've finished all the logos I intended to update.

to use for now. We plan to keep track of support for SVG so that we
can swap in an improved version in the future.

Your input helped us, thank you.
