Most of this is probably the compression settings in the PDF creator,
especially if it's outputting a low-colour image and merging the GRASS
green with the OSGeo greens.
Using a colour dropper app, there are considerable differences between
the newsletter and:
https://www.osgeo.org/content/logo/logos/OSGeo.png
When you zoom in on the logo, you can see jaggies in the circle that are
the result of changing the aspect ratio.
(as long as I'm being picky) I think that the two-colour reversed logo
(with white text) might have been a better choice for that background

Oh, I think I see what you mean now Jason. If you zoom in more than
100% it looks blurry, right. I wonder how it looks printed. We
should have increased the resolution of the image. I treated it like a
web graphic, it was probably only a 72dpi image in the end. Ooops...

Wow. Very nice newsletter; lots of neat articles with good writing
and graphics.My only beef with it is that the OSGeo logo has been taken from a
low-res source, has been somewhat squashed / out of round, the
colours have been modified. There are all branding no-no's. Of
course, the branding guide hasn't been published yet, so I can't
complain too loudlyStrange that it looks bad for you - I used full res. graphics, added a
mild shadow and the background but didn't change any colours! Maybe
this is a PDF compression or viewer issue you are
seeing? I hope it comes out for others as well as it did for me.
Looks fine from my screen, but hopefully we can make it look right for
everybody next time around. Thanks for the enthusiasm, the grass news
team has done a great job on this.
