hm, finding colours which allow you that is not trivial. furthermore,
you'll have to put more contrast in the logo itself, e.g. black line on
each edge of the 'cube'. i think that this would make the logo uncool
(or whatever one should call this)...

why not?

i didn't understand this either, but i think it's more an emphasizing of
each part of pkgsrc instead of splitting it into two words.

another option would be to use one part in italics, and the other in
regular -- but this is not the pkgsrc-style (it's italics). so it has to
be emphasized in another way.

that's my idea on this, YMMV :D
