This thread didnt exactly go the way I intended... :-)
What would it take to provide a logo that doesnt have any gradient background colour? Also one can easily split the logo from the so called topaz (is that really topaz?). Seriously, what's in the background should be left for the stylesheet to decide, we're in 2009 now ;-)
I guess my question would have to be, as the owner of the copyright, why do you want to "split the logo"?
What nefarious purposes hast thou?
