Yup that is it, it is directly from the logo.

This is the problem - I didn't take the time to qualify the ratio, just
pulled it out for a basic layout pass.

hmm - yes noticed that, I think the svg file is out of date on
that..isn't it? I figured the one I was using form the wiki currently
was, so didn't really sweat it yet.

Yes - it is, but surely we aren't going to pass on all dark backgrounds-
I can use the white out logo but it really doesn't come across as well,
IMO in a big way - still I can put one together and put it up to compare
against. I also have a second background that might work for the event,
it has a better local tie, but the Statue of Liberty (even the iconic
tourist novelty rendition) is a very powerful image for the USA.

Also, I faux lightened the background with a transparency overlay - but
that is a terrible solution I think, so for a next pass would play a bit
with lightning the background image a bit and lose the added layer.

I have, and will again. I sure appreciate everyones feed back or if
anyone has some great tip to give given the subject (dark background)
matter I'm really open to hearing it.
