I agree. Your logo is one of those logos where the colors really are
important.

It's just because... If we allow gradients and the like, how exactly can we
prevent things like shading, reflection, and other complicated effects,
which belongs to the custom formats only?

I think we need some way to tell that although colors are permitted in the
"official colors format", they still must be simple.

So we have 2 custom formats of 120x120 max, and one custom at 300x300 max?
I don't like it personally, but if other think we should have it...
