@Monochromatic Bunny has a good point, but it isn't always easy to optimize images without the right software. Part of the reason my wordmarks looks so good is that I've been using Photoshop which generates and optimizes images for web display automatically, but Photoshop is not cheap. I've also been making wordmarks for years and have an "eye" for how to make them look best at small size.

One trick I use that may not require Photoshop is that I often make the wordmark graphic initially 2 to 4 times the destinations size (500 x 130 or 1000 x 260) and then just scale it down for the final version.

You may be able to do good wordmarks with something like GIMP, but it is so much easier in Photoshop. I've worked with GIMP and it is really good for a free image editor, but it doesn't hold a candle to Photoshop.
