Hi everyone,
EDIT: Gnome has commited this icon upstream, so this is fixed. however, if you would like to use another one of my logo's for gnome-tweak-tool, just follow the guide using the correct .png file
I was mildy troubled by the logo in gnome-tweak-tool. the icon clearly was created on a white background, rather than using layers and transparency. because of this, if you are using any bg_color, other than white for your theme you end up with nasty white edges (how 1992 web experience - ish...lol). It's funny, because you are not really supposed to design logos, icons, or anything do do with a desktop/applications this way. - Especially, with transparency being pretty much a standard, everywhere...odd, but easily fixed
this is what i mean:

See, how even there are "stray - white - pixels" just below the image. yuck! hehehehe.
As I am using the Atolm-gtk3 theme - i really wanted to fix this, as it is an eye-sore and looked very unprofessional and dirty. So, i spent a few minutes to do just that! My revision of the Welcome Logo should now look good regardless of your color scheme.
Here is the after shot;

EDIT: look below at the next reply, as i have several versions, the one in this example still has white in the face, however, i have totally transparent one's as well...
How to Install
1. download my fixed logo, and save it to your desktop;

2. Replace the original which you can do like so;
a. open a terminal, and type the following;
sudo cp '/home/*your-user-name*/Desktop/welcomefixed.png' '/usr/share/gnome-tweak-tool/welcome.png'
i'll probably pass this on to gnome too.
cheerz and enjoy

or try one of these:
http://img534.imageshack.us/i/welcomeninezmod2.png <-- 3Dish with a plasma effect (remixed original, note: the face is filled in white)
http://img218.imageshack.us/i/welcomefixed.png/ <-- totally transparent, black lines only
http://img29.imageshack.us/i/welcomeninezmod2clear.png/ <-- transparent, with plasma
I added some color, used G'mic with several layers and passes, composited it, added airbrushed shading, and then adjusted the picture frame.
(obviously, you will need to substitute this image's filename in the commandline, if you decide to use it)

Gnome actually just committed my Fixed logo to GIT, im not sure if they looked at the others, but atleast it should look okay for everyone now.
