The color version is just an *example* of how the logo could be presented.
My example doesn't have to be perfect, because people can always make their
own versions. :-)

The color version is not the logo itself. It is just an example of how it
could be presented. Therefore the example doesn't have to be perfect,
because people can just make their own versions!

I will do that!

I know, it's because you actually rendered it in POV (very high
brilliance, right?). Still, try retouching it in a paint program and
see if looks better. I think it will.

No, I meant a high value. If you use a value of around 15 or more, and 
have the main light source very near the camera, the "shading" becomes 
highly exaggerated, there are large areas of nearly flat color and the 
objects have black edges.

Hmm, an interesting way to do it...the same as the "high brilliance" 
method up to the point of the transmitting plane...

Here's a simple b&w in 32x32 and another similar, but with colored
background.

This way the object becomes too dark and you still don't get the sharp edges
between black and white.

Well, the transmitting plane is the whole point...

But as I said, there's a problem in POV-Ray.
If you know or is able to obtain knowledge of how POV-Ray handles transmit
values internally, would you reply to the thread "transmit > 1" in
povray.general? Please?

No, that wouldn't work, see the reply to Chris Huff.

I think it looks nice as is, and I'm not sure exactly what you mean anyway,
so I won't. However, you are welcome to "steal" the logo and try to improve
it yourself, and then present it in this newsgroup and hear if people like
your version better! :-)
