It's very bad form to replace nice semantic and accessable text with an
image. "The GNOME Project" is the single most important piece of
information about this page, and it must be absolutely clear to idiots
(search engine bots are first-class idiots).  Even if the image were
used, it is semantically a h1.  I think we could get the same
presentation CSS using font-size and relative positioning.  I like the
image design.
