Re: [Bug-gnubg] GNUBG Logo

[Nardy Pillards]

I'm no designer, just thinking about the red - green colors.
Red/green color blinds will see no difference.

I like the big one though, really nice one (especially the gnu).

(and taking that as an example...)

I put some ideas about it here:

(and yes... yellow/green color blind will see dark-grey / light-grey)
