Of course, we'd need the logo image to be transparent again, or we

The problem with transparent background is that I can't get
anti-aliasing.
Well, if the background is sufficiently low contrast, then you can fake
it by rendering the text (with antialiasing) on a surface with a colour
that is approximately the background colour.
I tried in GIMP to select "image"/"add alpha channel" before rendering
an AA text. This makes the anti-aliasing blend to transparent instead
of some background colour. As an example
http://www.eideticdew.org/~urkedal/test/tlty.html
where I also added a drop-shadow to make it easier to see that it blends
with the background image. Try xmag to see that this applies to the AA
text, as well. Will something like this work with how to created the logo?
