Actually, those did seem to scale down rather well. I would argue that
they actually look better smaller, because the edges were kind of
crummy. (The source wasn't good, and then I had to rotate it).

Still, there are a couple of things

1) We haven't reached a community consensus, but it might be good enough
since we at least have something.

2) It doesn't really say "Bazaar" in any way. It is just a couple of
branches. I don't know if we could just have the letters "Bazaar"
written over top of the stems, or maybe a big B, which has the branches
going through it. But as it is, it could stand for anything.

Thanks for your vote of confidence in my gimp-fu.
