Ditto here...
I just don't like the logo, sorry, and the smaller the better for me.
Although I like 'white space' in a design, yours is nearer to wasted space,
in some respects.

Pixels, percents, ems, the debate will carry on until M$ get their act
together and implement a decent 'zoom' or size option, as we have in Opera
and Moz.
Pixel sizing prevents IE users from resizing the text. You may think that is
a good thing, but from an accessibility angle it kills it - you should then
include an alternative style sheet for the hard of seeing.
% styling can be useful, but I think you need to specify a size in the body
{ } otherwise it's a percentage of what? The default, which means the text
ends up tiny in Moz, as its default font size is smaller than IE.

HTH, even if it sounds a bit negative.
