LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Oh, I went to check my flist for Whovian love, only to realise I'd accidentally bahleeted my journal while trying to do something else this morning. That was hella scary people, hold me.

THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME. Oh, you sexy, sexy, sexy thing. Need Eleventy icons, peeps. Must go.

No, that's not me saying Smith is a sexy thing. It's like a quote. About a sexy thing.

Matt inspired me to make my first icon with text. What do you think? Honest opinion. I want to get better at this.

I don't like the font. That's probably not the most surprising remark from me. I like how you colour matched the font to his t-shirt, that's a great detail that ties the icon together, and you have given it the right amount of shading so it's properly legible against the background. All those things are good, I just don't like the font, it's messy. Especially how the T hits the u at the start, there's a big blob there, and it's one of those fonts that looks bad in all caps, there are very few fonts that actually look GOOD in all caps except your standard ones.

My major peeve with the font and the use of it here, is that it's one of those playful fonts that's sort of halfway between script and typeface, and while those sorts of fonts can work as, say, a black header on a white page, as soon as you start giving them colour and, in this case, tilting them, they look like there's something wrong with them, they look messy and like YOU, the icon maker, have done something stupid in the way of spacing or placement or whatever, when in fact you haven't, it's just the font looking kind of crappy because that's how it looks.

Apart from the font, I quite like it. It has a colour scheme which is kind of muted and matching and that's really easy on the eyes.
