If you replace the chrome texture you have in two places with

  pigment { rgb 1 }
    finish { ambient .5 diffuse .5 }

and then render the scene you will find there is nothing wrong with
your logo object (I used the first camera to test this). You are the
victim of a highly reflective object and no more. If you are having
any real problems it is with the roughness you have on the objects
edges from a poor quality height field image. The lack of straight
edges in the image is giving you very rough edges in the HF object
and appears as if the edges have been chipped away.

  Please don't post binaries to this group in the future. Instead post
your question here and the source file in the povray.binaries.scene-files
group with a reference to it's location.
