Yep, true, 204 vs 255.

I did not try to copy the yellow, but use pure yellow (cyan or violet
do not look fine in a ring, I think). The outlines are due the fact
you never know what background the image will appear over, so a border
helps to define shapes.

The devil is the details. Pay attention the font, not the same than
POV site (cos I do not have it). ;]

I created the logo to have something, otherwise delays would have no
end. One idea was a competetion, but that takes time: set rules + give
time to do images + vote (+ change old logos if you are already using
them, aka you already opened the ring).

Site 1 has a smaller version, other sites are also doing variations,
travel along the ring to see them (currently 7 members). Try to scale
down a 160 * 160 logo to 60 * 60 yourself, text is readable. The thing
about puting one big was that you can scale it down to match the rest
of your site without quality problems. Index page will have more
examples in future to show all this.

BTW, anybody is welcome to create a logo that can match multiple pages
(that was a requisite I think is necesary) and people can associate
with POV-Ray and New Ring. If somebody want changes, help me. :]

More news (until web admin can change the index and everybody can read
the updates there):

- two mailing lists avaliable now, one for urgent admin themes and
another for small notes and members' talk. The admin one is automatic
when joining, the members list works per subscription. If somebody
want to subscribe to the members list now, send a subscribe command to
maj### [at] infernal-icebergcom with a single line that says "subscribe
prnr-members-l" ("Subject:" empty or whatever you want, the command in
the body of message).

- news / log / draft page so I can provide more info faster, try
things, etc, http://www.infernal-iceberg.com/povray/prnr-log.html.
