I find it kind of disarming to overload not-typically-overloaded events like this though. I wonder if it'd be possible to let the right-click menu appear as normal, but background a div that pops up and give you the option of downloading the nicer logo files?

I know that overriding expected functionality like this is considered a "no-no", but let's not loose sight of the fact that this "UX trick" was used on a logo, on the masthead, on the site's header. What do you really want if you right-click on a logo like this? If you did indeed want to right-click & save-as to get the image, this feature takes that a step further and actually offers you a selection of high-res imag…

Why was it necessary to bundle the _MACOSX and .DS_Store files with the zip download? I rarely see zip files with thumbs.db or desktop.ini files in them.
its terrible when Windows (ouh ouh EVIL MS) does stuff like that it's normal when Mac OSX does it. Lets push this further. It's ok when github hijacks your right click (makes the logo download more annoying while pretending to make things nicer). It's terrible if MS/Mozilla/Whoever isn't hype right now does it. As simple as that. Sadly.
The lightbox that opens up asks, "Looking for the GitHub logo?"
But it doesn't let you answer no. It just presumes that your answer is yes, and supplies you with what it thinks you actually want (or, more cynically, what it wants you to want).
I would suggest adding a "No thanks -- just let me right-click" link at the bottom. That link would close the lightbox and prevent it from reopening for the rest of the session, which would be in contrast to its current behavior, where the lightbox pops up no matter how many times you right-click.

This has actually got in the way of expected functionality for me. I've often right clicked on the logo to try and open the github homepage in a new tab.
