Rob,

Agreed.  Font scaling is an important second-order consideration after we 
stabilize on the essential appearance of each major branding element.  

I notice this problem seems to apply to some of the smaller versions that Drew 
and others have posted, and it will have to be addressed.

If we don't need to scale the logo, then that is fine.  But text -- at
least with high quality fonts -- is not scaled proportionately in the
way you would a simple SVG shape.  In order to preserve a pleasing,
balanced appearance at small and large sizes, real fonts do much more
complicated things, e.g. "manual hinting".

If we want to have the optimal appearance, at various scales, then we
may need to take this into account.
