I never really liked the sheen on the logo and couldn't figure out an
effective way to add it in inkscape so far, though I admit I didn't
try very hard since i didn't like it.

The fonts aren't exactly the same as the original and like wise using
inkscape instead of adobe illustrator, so its hard to get the exact
same layout. The kerning is unpleasant, but I've not been able to figure
out a good way to increase space between those two letters without
affecting the other letters too.
