I am wondering if it is a font thing, given that the writing didn't
render, but the logo did. Did you embed the fonts in the document? This
is a good isea, esp if you want to submit it outside for printing. I am
reinforced in this view by the fact that although the whole thing
rendered in programs other than kghostscript, in some programs the fonts
looked horrible.
