[maemo-community] GIF logo

[From: Kamen Bundev]

Hi Dave,

1. I think the 8-bit PNG is equivalent to GIF and can have only one
transparent color. ARGB PNGs tend to require more juice from the client
browsers, so maybe unsuitable for the tablets (The ITT front page uses ARGB
PNGs).
2. As far as i can see on the three pages you listed the background is the
same?
3. Unsuitable then.
