It's probably just me, but somehow, everytime I see a still of Jodie Foster in her new journalist-turned-vigilante flick The Brave One, she seems to be channeling her inner Sanzo - at least enough that she could do a helluva job cosplaying him ... .
Separated at birth, perhaps?

Re the font: the artist actually had room to go up a point size or two, or to use a slightly greater letter spacing, either of which would have made the text more readable. Also, a font with strong verticals like that can fall down where it has diagonals, at that small a size - as this one does, with those lowercase w's.
Oddly enough, my PC at work (the one that died, anyway) had better font-handling in Photoshop than this Mac does. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. It may be the versions of some of the fonts that are the issue. There are some reasonable sites for downloading free fonts on the web, and icon makers ought to experiment a bit more to find fonts that work well at small sizes.
