[Mailman-Developers] Unforeseen difficulties with the Mailman logo

[Barry Warsaw]

I am very definitely graphics challenged, but I'm CC'ing Andrija, the artist
who generated the original logo.  Maybe he has some ideas about adjusting the
images for these buttons (which is a great idea, btw!).

Cheers,
