Good catch - I'm pushing that out in a minute.

I was actually concerned with the same thing, but a) not that many
people are familiar with the Bzr logo and b) when I actually look at
the Bzr logo I don't really see that much in common.  It was done by
someone totally unfamiliar with that logo and although I can still see
similarities, I think it's a good, clean logo that would be easily
recognizable and much more versatile than what we have been using so I
decided to stick with it.

I have to assume that just about any modern site looks pretty awful to
you.  I honestly don't know what to do about this - I can't even test
it really.  I am aware since the launch that a number of people have
issues with JS being turned off, which I'm working on, but there's not
a lot I can do for browsers like that and I'm not sure what the point
would be anyhow.  People with browsers like that don't need anything
on this site as far as I can think of.  It targets people that don't
know Git and possibly don't know version control and are trying to
figure it out.

I'll try to make it better, but it would be simpler if you could fix
it and send me a pull request since I have no other way to see what
you're seeing with tech that out of date.
