Thanks for pointing that out, Mark. I agree with you. I spent too much time in front of that logo, so it is hard for me to notice those details sometimes. This is the current image: http://sirgazil.bitbucket.org/static/temp/img/guixsd/A-grub.png And here are some variants for comparison. This is variant B, which is the same as the current image, but without the shadow: http://sirgazil.bitbucket.org/static/temp/img/guixsd/B-grub-no-shadow.png I think that the gradients that give the illusion of twist are still a bit hard to see. So here is variant C with retouched gradients: http://sirgazil.bitbucket.org/static/temp/img/guixsd/C-grub-retouched-twist.png I think it looks better. But here is a D variant which includes the retouched twist of C and adds a drop shadow: http://sirgazil.bitbucket.org/static/temp/img/guixsd/D-grub-retouched-drop-shadow.png This shadow is more subtle than the one used in the current GRUB image, but it may still flatten the logo because it is bevelled. I like C and D, but would go with C to avoid the problem you mention. What do you think?
