Why can't we have both? Suits everyone, just like NHL jerseys - one with a
light base and a second one with a darker-colored base :). I'm still to rework
the design with the latest SVG set which Dan re-worked as part of the webdesign
work (I still like the original SVG more because the font is a bit bolder) but
I had some issues with object alignment in inkscape because of a large bounding
box the 'Drop shadow' caused and I just didn't like micro pixel adjustments to
the object position just to get it centered within the hexagon area, so I sent
patches to mitigate the issue and I'll post a v2 of the design this week.
