This is more a tweak of the original bringing in the green to balance out the red and blue these 3 colours generally appear on most of the "quark" diagrams I've seen. The colours pop slightly more so still looks good in small scale this logo is completely .svg format so is entirely scalable with minimal gloss, shadows etc.
Sharper res.

like it, it looks clean - if we look at the original but it had no green - so i was wondering why it looked "Christmas" i think we need the lose the Green ? pretty much altogether ?
