Maybe there's a difference. It looks like Jaco changed the size of batmanlogo.png between your message and me trying it out?
Yep, that's the difference. I suggested he keep dimensions below 2048, so he scaled his down by half. The logo I got was 4000x1200, which GLU would scale to 4096x1024 at run-time. Yours will scale to 2048x512. My cropped one will scale to 2048x1024. If you scale my cropped one in half, it would be a more fair test, since the actual bat in my cropped one is twice as big as the bat in his updated one. However, my cropped one is still under 2048 in each dimension, so leaving it alone provides a higher quality end result.
