Yes. PostgreSQL is hard to read as one word even when printed ;)

I think it would help to move the "powered" word up (and make it
"powered by") and have the baselines for "Postgre" and "SQL" line up.

I did some logos a few months ago based on a Crocodile image.
Unfortunately I have'nt had time to work on it lately.

They are still up for viewing at :

I got even some positive feedback ;), especially for the
'PostgreSQL underneath' logo button on page2.

But to make a proper logo out of that material still requires some work.
