[racket-dev] new logo

I'm no graphics designer but I've been playing with Eli's logo a
bit. I went gradient-happy; sorry.

Here it is with a silvery sheen:

Less subtle, darker silver:

I've been experimenting with a few colors on it:

Here are two attempts at the "circular" logo, but I'm out of time
to play for today.

Classic PLT:

Flipped color (not too sure about this one):

Here's the SVG if you want to play around in inkscape:

Just open the layer dialog with Ctrl+Shift+L and hide/show
various layers to mess with it.
