So, I'm having a bit of trouble with the Mailman logo:

The problem being that the delicate lines pretty much just don't show up 
when I try to print it in button size.

I don't suppose anyone here has some hidden graphics-fu and could help 
me out?  the buttons have a 1.375in printable area, and I'm using a 
colour laser.  Maybe if I switched to a single colour instead of the 
gradients it would help make them work better?

The original logo page is here:

I made a stab at thickening up those lines here (this is the sheet I 
used to make the actual button in the photo):

I'd like to make a few of these for the GHC hackathon (Sat Oct 6th 
8:30-4:30 North American Eastern Time, and we'll be on IRC if any of you 
would like to join us!), but I'm currently despairing of managing to 
produce some that are legible and attractive.
