if you mean SVG, it looks lousy, indeed, because it uses a strange font
(ProggyTinyTT, never heard of it), which gives text size problems in
Inkscape, and because Firefox has such lousy SVG support (apart from
some non-critical text overlapping, it looks mostly OK in Inkscape);
rendered formats such as PDF/PS/image files make it certain that you see
what the author wanted you to see, but can't be easily edited/improved

I think it should look right when printed in black and white, colour
doesn't bring much value; if I can come up with something good looking
I'll post it here :)

P.S. here is what I was thinking about including:
creating:
bzr init
bzr branch (worth mentioning aliases?)
bzr checkout

information:
bzr status
bzr diff
bzr log
bzr inventory
bzr missing

commit:
bzr commit
bzr uncommit
bzr revert
bzr update

merging:
bzr pull
bzr merge

publishing:
bzr push
bzr bundle
bzr export?

also, some general use recipes would probably be nice (maybe 
"svn-style", "git-style", "whatever-style" next to each other? some 
usage patterns from the wiki?)
