Nice Bondy, if I might make a suggestion for who ever reads this, leave your DPI settings to 72 (recommended for web use) on your logo ( or any graphics) this will reduce file size without reducing quality, the only time you really need to raise that is if you are going to print your graphics and if you are going to print the recommended DPI is 300. But keep in mind again this will increase your file size.... Not by much but if you do graphics ever day it can easily consume your HDD space quickly.
