That logo (other than the lack of the TM) also looks quite large for 
the dialog that is displaying it.

Attached is a couple of mockups of a smaller version of just the logo, 
and a version with the logotype as well. IMHO, just the bubble looks 
better balanced than the logotype because the distroname underneath is 
centered.

Note that the attached mockups are just visualisations of ideas, and 
should not be interpreted as a final suggestion to implement.
