If you really want to get into it, think about it, the logo is 32x32, and the text takes up (width-wise) about 30% of that, let's be generous and say that's 11 pixels. You can't comfortably fit 3 letters with an outline in 11 pixels and make them readable. Even photoshop limits smallest font size to 6px per character, and that's without letter spacing accounted for. After all that, you have to pass it through the filter of different screen resolutions, icon size settings and pixel densities people may use on their devices, and you get a wide array of situations where it's not okay.
The point is, the text doesn't have to be present in order for the icon to represent what you want it to represent. People will associate the otland squirrel and the nut with TFS, they don't need the characters 'TFS' to make that connection, the executable's name is right there next to the icon most of the time anyway, and anyone else who is not acquainted with TFS who looks at it wouldn't know what 'TFS' is anyway.
I totally agree with you.
What I'm just saying is that on my monitor seems readable enough.
If you see the previous posts, you will notice that I was defending the idea of NOT to use the TFS letters, but I made with because some wanted it, so I try it.
Well, when I back home, I will make an test without the TFS and edit the post there.
