Ciao Luca, Nice work! I tried to contribute with suggestions directly in the svg, but my inkscape just messed things up. Therefore I simply attach text with suggestions (even if changes are not that visible that way). Please feel free to reject or accept as you like…
I agree with Markus and Anna, that “old” has some negative connotation which I would avoid too. I liked the “reliable number cruncher” branding in Markus FOSS4G 2015 presentation. Furthermore, I would support Moritz suggestion to start with the important stuff and here I would put efficiency / robustness quite high (which I was missing a bit in the current text). There is also the R interface (rgrass7) which is not mentioned in the “Interfaces” paragraph. All this and some other small adjustments can be found in the attached txt.

I'd not use "old" at all. It does not add anything positive in typical marketing bla. IMHO better use long term or similar. And thanks for working on it. Markus
The reliable number cruncher GRASS GIS is powerfull free and open source software for performing spatial analysis. It consists of more than 500 modules for processing vector, raster, voxeland temporal data. The roots of GRASS GIS are going back to the 1980s, but it is still at the bleeding edge of innovation in GIS technology. It has been developed with efficiency in mind and is suitable for both small and big data problems. GRASS GIS runs on almost all kinds of hardware, from small laptop to HPC cluster and can serve as a desktop GIS with a modern graphical user interface as well as the backbone of a GIS infrastructure. More than 200 AddOns can extend its functionaly and provide solutions for often more specific tasks. Active GRASS GIS community Many people have contributed to improve the software. Its strength and success rely on an active development team and the feedback of a wide contributors community; both combine their efforts to make GRASS GIS easier, more useful and powerful to everybody. Where is GRASS GIS used? GRASS GIS is used in scientific applications, commercial settings and by public authorities all over the world. The software has shown strong potential for solving geospatial problems in numerous situations world-wide. Features GRASS GIS supports nearly all common GIS file formats through the use of the GDAL/OGR library Raster analysis: map algebra, interpolation, mask... 3D raster (voxel) analysis: 3D map algebra,3D interpolation, 3D visualization... Image processing: aerial/UAV image, satellite data,supervised/unsupervised/object classification... DTM analysis: contour/surface generation, cost-path, slope-aspect analysis, hydrology Vector analysis: topology, buffer, overlays, network analysis... Temporal (4D) framework: support for time series big spatio-temporal environmental data Point cloud analysis: LiDAR, interpolation... Spatial statistics: correlation/covariance analysis, regression... Geocoding: raster and vector maps SQL-support: different database backends can be used (SQLite, PostgreSQL, ...) Interfaces GRASS GIS can be used through different interfaces: the simplest for new user is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) with several powerful tools power users use the text-based commandline interface (CLI) there is a C API for programmers for Python language there is a scripting library and an object-oriented Python API also the statistical language R can access GRASS GIS functionality (or the other way around) web interface through WPS servers Furthermore, GRASS GIS provides many interfaces to other programs in related domains like geostatistics, databases, web map services and even interfaces to other GIS software exist.
