I'm all for a classic look. But you have to admit that the Squeak logo
looks particularly bland in the list at
http://www.hackontest.ch/
Going 3d-ish and colorful would be one way to pep this up, another to
use a white background and slightly stronger strokes (and possibly
removing the exclamation mark, moving the text to the right side, or
omitting it altogether).
