<p>I've attached a GIF od the new logo -- don't know if it's any better than your attempt, though (GIF, by nature, don't offer a lot of flexibility when it comes to transparency). If it's got to be GIF I would suggest making several versions that incorporate the various background colors needed (as stated by others) or use a PNG with the transparency hack (I do this on several sites with little/no performance issues). Or...</p>
<p><strong>...discontinue support for IE6 and just use the tranparent PNG.</strong> ;)</p>
<p>Let me know if you need me to try anything else.</p>

Hi Tim,<br />
<br />
I attached it earlier on the list.<br />
<br />
Here's the SVG - can't do better than that :)<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Dave.<br />
