Why is this logo not clear? Font choice or the creation method?

    problem
    :
    lingering issue with a logo that is not clear when scaled down, and in some use cases. Any advice on making this image/logo super clear?
    • visuals:
      • links to limages
        • most clear on laptop: ironview
        1. constant contact use case side-by-side (with rework in georgia font using Gimp): ironview cc
      • links reference again in more detail below
        • The logo is used on http://ironview.com (use case that is most clear/and largest)
        • it is scaled-down here: http://ironview.com/capital-management and blurry example

    more detail:
    • got the logo 'made' for a client a while back. Always notice it seemed blurry in certain situations. Chalked it up to a choice in font(times new roman or similar)when scaled down.
    • But more and more feeling something larger along with the logo/image.
    • The logo is used on http://ironview.com (use case that is most clear/and largest)
    • it is scaled-down here: http://ironview.com/capital-management
    • Capping it off: trying to use in email marketing project for the company it is really becoming problematic. (Using an ESP and uploading it)
    • Recent redid it in an the application Gimp. Using Georgia font: trying to make it a little thicker thinking 1 scaled-down it would make it more clear. Worked a little but still not super clear.
    Questions:
    • Was it just not done right - method issue?
    • Is it something with the font choice and size?
    • Seems at least in part is the upload process into Constant Contact - and or the web server that is cause some of it.

    I can see what your saying and I do believe that this could be a problem with the small writing. I would think that in cases when it is smaller it would be small hard to see and it would most likely be confused with something else.
