Tips for off-focus channel logo

It seems no matter what I do (lower resolution, raise resolution, higher DPI) my out of focus channel logo (meaning not selected and off to the side) is always a bit blurry. The logo looks fine when it is selected and I did resize to the Roku recommended. Is it just not a good idea to have smallish text in your roku channel logo? Is it just too small for an HDTV to render well?

Re: Tips for off-focus channel logo

Is the text readable in the icon when you view it on your computer? I know you said you used the Roku recommended sizes, but can you post the exact dimensions of the image you're using?

Re: Tips for off-focus channel logo

You can maybe fit one word on your out of focus logo.... Others have done so successfully: Netflix, HuluPlus, Amazon (though you can't read their "Instant Video" very well either).
