350KB? Could you post the image here?

Otherwise, my only suggestion is that you (gasp) convert it to a jpeg. They're ugly, but they're small.

Get pngcrush

Extract the contents of the .zip it to some folder.

Save the following text as a batch file:

pngcrush  
pngcrush -brute -reduce -already 8192 -force -rem gAMA -rem cHRM -rem iCCP -rem sRGB -d crushed *.png

Place the batch file in the same folder as the pngcrush.exe

Anytime you want to compress a png (or pngs), place it(them) in this same folder and double click the batch file.

Your "crushed" file(s) will appear in the "crushed" folder.
