Not feeling calm about this version of the poster[edit]

With the best will in the world, I really hate this rendering of the poster. The font weight seems just a little too much, and the letter spacing is completely wrong - much too close together. The colour is completely wrong. These things being the case - certainly the last two - it just is not the same as the original. I'd much prefer that we either had an accurate rerendering of the original, or simply use the photo of the original. We gain nothing, IMO, by using something so different from the original and passing it of as if it were the real thing. --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:19, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the font weight is too heavy. The shape of the first R in Carry has changed as well. This version lacks the calming aesthetic of the original, it niggles at the back of my brain and sets it on edge. -- BlindWanderer (talk) 22:22, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
