BTW, Diana's image uses the dark-blue color on the logo, so the image 
actually uses three colors: white, blue, dark blue.

Options:

   1. Keep it as it is.

   2. Reduce the colors to two. This is against the logo guidelines so 
it's not actually a choice.

   3. Since we have the dark blue there, use it on the main design as 
well for a better result.

   4. If 2 happens, probably consider using the dark blue as the 
background color, since it will match the FC6 theme better.

I'd vote for 4, but that would mean extra work for someone.
