I wonder what the established wisdom in the design community is about this. I mean, many people view the web site on a high-dpi screen with about a bazillion calibrated colours and we could have a super crafty logo with gradients and shadows and a shiny 3D effect and so on. Then there are use cases where you want to logo on a T-shirt or in 16x16px in the corner of a map. Does that automatically mean that you need to have the lowest-common-denominator logo that uses only 4 colours and is easily scalable - or are there ways to have a polished logo for large displays together with a scalable version and both still retain the same visual identity? Of course even a simple logo can look good in large print but I do like it about the current logo that there are details to discover when you look closer.
