Fully concur.  Also, as a merely practical matter, this logo will be
difficult (and therefore expensive) to print well[1].

General advice to the mailing list from someone with a degree in graphic
design:  do not accept a logo proposal without considering the one- and
two- color treatments, and what it looks like at small sizes[2].

[2] Rule of thumb:  if you can't make a recognizable favicon out
                    of, you lose.
