Indeed this is better.  I'd like to propose some further changes:

  - change the background color to the color of the header text (8596B0)
  - change the E color to something lighter, for better readability
  - add to the background the code used to produce the logo itself, to
    make it "recursive" (but cheating with \lstinputlisting).

Please find attached the code and the resulting PDF.  I didn't alter
kerning and lowering of E.  Note that xelatex is not needed to compile
the document, but it helps reducing the size of the final png file.

You can see a sketch of the possible result of the logo in the
homepage at http://www.dmf.unisalento.it/~giordano/auctex-index.html
The logo doesn't fit in the current header (height is 91px, the logo
would be barely visible with that size), I think the sidebar is a
better place for it, but suggestions are welcome.

Bye,
Mosè
