The banner image at the top left of http://bugs.darcs.net/ has the
string "darcs" embedded in it (which is, arguably, a bad idea of
itself).

When using a white-on-black theme, this string is unreadable, because
it's black-on-transparent and transparent becomes black,
i.e. black-on-black.

Suggest using a thick white stroke around the letters, similar to the
style used by GNOME's "HighContrastLargePrintInverse" icon theme.

Would you care to submit an improved icon for us? I'd definitely call this a
low-priority issue, since all the image says is "darcs".

Where is the source for the current image?  (I assume it's generated
from an SVG.)

IMO the string "darcs" should be removed from the image and added to
H2 the heading (i.e. s/Bug Tracker/Darcs Bug Tracker/).

Agreed.

It's in doc/logos (in the darcs repository), and it's not generated from an
SVG.

I don't particularly care.  On the other hand, if you remove the text,
there's little to no reason to modify the image.
