That is the problem with raster/bitmap images (i don't know the word).
An image in SVG solve that problem (as you allready posted).
If that is what you intend to do then you just have to make the logo more readable as it was sugested.

In my opinion if you want to change the lucene logo make a new one. The one posted is almost the same than the original.
Murray, discussions are good because people participate and bring new ideas. Your time would be better spend if you create a new (diferent) logo.
I people don't like it they will have to say why or give some ideas and that would help to make better logo.
This is just what i think,
Ricardo,
I agree in theory with what you've said, but I didn't feel it was my place to completely alter the identity of the existing logo. I've not been involved in this project that long (several months) and don't know how attached people are to the existing logo, or how much it's in use. So I felt the safest thing was to come up with a cleanup, not a reinvention. I agree with some of the earlier comments about it being too long, and that's easily fixed. My biggest problem as a graphic artist (which is actually how I started into the computer field back in the early 80's) is that the existing logo doesn't decompose well at small sizes. It's hard to make a "badge" of it, the kind one sees at the bottom of a web page. If I were to reinvent the logo, I'd try something more bold, and something that still was recognizable at 80x30 pixels. I may have time post-Christmas to make some attempts at this if people are interested. I spent quite a lot of time on CommunityWiki building up a logo, and probably developed at least several dozen alternatives over several weeks. I'd not want to repeat that kind of effort, but the community involvement was very good.
(Unfortunately, CommunityWiki's server has been down for awhile, so I can't point you to it.)
