Can you add that back? I never really liked the sheen on the logo and couldn't figure out an effective way to add it in inkscape so far, though I admit I didn't try very hard since i didn't like it. > Also, the old logo had a different kerning between 'rt' than the new > logo, where it looks like the two letters are too close. The fonts aren't exactly the same as the original and like wise using inkscape instead of adobe illustrator, so its hard to get the exact same layout. The kerning is unpleasant, but I've not been able to figure out a good way to increase space between those two letters without affecting the other letters too.
