[Mailman-Developers] Unforeseen difficulties with the Mailman logo

[Andrija Arsic]

Hi there,

at this side, I can't be 100% sure what can be the problem, but I will bet
on gradient colors. I am attaching one .svg file with solid color (darker
blue from original colors) so you can give it a try.
The other option is that the printer can't give the best look. Maybe you
can try on any other.

Let me know if this helps.
