+1, I think the layout and color selection are good. The layout doesn't
include that dark grey border, does it? If so, please consider removing it.

Also, the font used for 'QGIS' is rather weak and, to be frank, a bit
goofy-looking (especially the Q). I have a huge assortment of professional
fonts which I can work with to find something better.

Nathan, do you have a working design file I can use? Or at least a
background PNG without the lettering?

There appears to be no leading between the lines 'QGIS 2.0' and 'Dufour,'
nor spacing between 'QGIS' and '2.0.' Was this intended? I do kind of like
the effect, however. Usually when this is done in design, at minimum, the
coloring of the two words/lines is different, even if just a difference in
tone of the same color.

Regards,

Larry
