Actually it just highlights all of the problems nicely. Having been required to 
comply with the needs of the visually impaired on a number of projects, the 
importance of contrast at a lower resolution IS quite critical! AT LEAST change 
the icon views back to the old style if it does not matter that we can all use 
the older style anyway. But personally I find the current image simply a damp 
squib in the corner ... perhaps because I HAVE to focus on it better to see any 
detail at all ... even with my glasses on. A logo should be 'crisp' and scale 
nicely from Icon through to larger image, and the loss of the distinctive 
outline IS the major problem.
