Okay, here is what I have figured out:

When I try to render that red logo as NTSC interlaced, it looks toothy or stairstepped. When I render it as NTSC progressive, it looks much better (though not perfect).

When I render the logo in a light color (like white, or light yellow...anything light colored) it looks fine whether interlaced or progressive NTSC.

However, when I render the logo as an HD file, like 1280x720, it looks perfect in any color, interlaced or progressive.

So, what I have learned is that red really only works in progressive scan, and it works best as an HD file. Interlacing, especially in NTSC, does not handle the color red.

Since this video will be burned to a DVD and played on a closed-circuit hotel television station from a DVD player, I have no choice but to use interlaced NTSC...therefore I will have to pick another color for the logo.

Unless you have any other suggestions.
