Hi,

I don't like it. I don't see how it can possibly be related to git in
any way. There are no plus and minus anywhere, nor green :)

But anyway, if you are going to use such a logo, perhaps you should
choose a less saturated red, or even green would be better, and use
the black version as the page favicon (like in github).

See how bad it looks in my browser:
http://felipec.org/git-scm-screenshot.png

Also, the hugely saturated red on the rest of the page seems
offsetting. A less saturated red often looks bad, but a less saturated
green not so much.

And probably rotate the logo it 180 degrees; it looks like development
is going down?

Other than that I think it's great :)

Thanks!
