@dajbelshaw I actually voted for sticking with the one you've got, but here's the catch.
I think 1024 is just an arbitrary number, and I don't see the point on trying to stay under that particular one. I think you should strive to make the design that you like as efficient as possible. And looking at your current one, it doesn't seem like it'd take a lot of resources. You could do it with the image, the font, and very little CSS/JS.
@dajbelshaw The image could be optimized to weight almost nothing (specially because it's in B&W), and the font is something users will have to download anyways most of the time as soon as they click a link to another section. And it can also be optimized by removing characters you don't use.
But I know this is not what "keep the current one" means, because you're probably using different libraries/plugins. But I don't think design should be constrained to page weight, most of the time.
