Well, that's a poor rendition. It's the T-Shirt version reduced to  
icon size, which of course looks poor, in particular in black on a  
dark gray background as on the page you mentioned. WHen scaled down  
properly from the original vector art, you would increase stroke width  
which makes it look a lot better at small sizes. See below.

There are 3d-ish renditions of the logo:
