I thought that there was a request for a 200x100px png so did create one
from this, is there is a need.

Can't work with the psd file directly here but from what I could work
with..took a little detour through GIMP to drop out all white, as the
images I could work with had a little halo around the different elements
- which end up as bitmaps here..anyway did that, then scaled it's a bit
cleaner I think then again maybe not, set the correct canvas size and
added back a white background.

So wasn't sure - included Kay on this email and attaching the 200x100
png - if it isn't needed currently just disregard..OK
