Hello Petr:
I hope you are doing well.  I was looking at the git.or.cz site tonight and
thought it could perhaps use a little freshening up from a design
standpoint.  Therefore, I messed around with the default stylesheet and the
home page a bit and made a logo.  You can take a look at the experimental
design at this address...

It's really just a few little changes.  If you're interested in implementing
any of this into the current site, feel free to grab the changes from my
github git repository.  You can see the few text changes in the diff...

 I'm not sure if this is really an improvement on the current state,
but then again, the current state pretty much matches my idea and maybe
others will agree that your proposal is better. Thus, it's better to
show this to the Git community at large. :-)

 If you or anyone is shooting for a re-design, I would suggest to
somehow relate to the current "Git brandings" in use:

 If you think you have a cooler logo, that's fine too, but then it's
again better to present it explicitly, I believe. The latter is used
especially within mSysGit, the former is used more widely - at the
current homepage, as Gitweb logo, and in various modifications like
