Well, that's a poor rendition. It's the T-Shirt version reduced to
icon size, which of course looks poor, in particular in black on a
dark gray background as on the page you mentioned. WHen scaled down
properly from the original vector art, you would increase stroke width
which makes it look a lot better at small sizes. See below.
