OK, this is the one I think you mean:

I'll have a play next week with this... You are suggesting
the body to be white text on a black background or white
text on a purple background?

Also the Matilda logo needs some work -- it appears that
it's not anti-aliased at the moment... If anyone else
wants to do a mock up with different colours or generate a
better logo that would be cool. The logo needs two
versions, one a PNG, white with a transparent background
and anti-aliased (for Mozilla/Firefox) and one a GIF (for
IE), the version I started with is this one:

These are the current ones being used:
