Actually, it's the *large* Trinity icon that I would remove (more likely, I would fade
the logo into a semitransparent background graphic without the "button" surrounds).
At the moment, the composition seems to be trying too hard to be balanced.  Also,
unless this is a bad cropping job, the small icons are off-center and the whole group 
needs to be moved slightly left, and, ideally, a bit down.

(My opinion, of course--well, except for the little icons not being centered.)
