At least on Windows 8 it renders pretty poorly - lots of blurring and poor anti-aliasing. If you're gonna shake things up couldn't you use a decent font like Open Sans.
Looks great on my copy of Windows 8:

It's a vector image, so there's no reason it should look blockier than the previous png



I don't remember it looking like that before, it looks nothing like the source image so maybe it's on my end somehow idk (using Windows 8/Firefox)

I changed it back to the original png, so at least when it comes to the platinum icon, there should be no complaints.

Nah I think it looks cute

change it to an anime catgirl holding a grenade, and prepare for the wave of rancid goon semen to wash from one coast to the other

The lines aren't sharp enough to be this thin. Alternatively, the lines aren't thick enough.

You shall all soon witness the power of my Tragic 8-Ball!
I appreciate the efforts to keep the forums on the forefront of awesomeness, but for some reason the new thread font just doesn't want to show up crisply like every other font the forums use. Everything is clear in the posting screen, forum view screens, control panels, etc. But the actual threads aren't clear. Is there some way to over-ride the change and go back to the old style?

Edit: what I see, slightly enlarged

gently caress. The Google fonts are insufferable in Firefox since FF doesn't anti-alias, and I have ClearType turned off on my computer since I dislike the way it looks. :(



Time to look into Greasemonkey scripting (or similar) for changing the font back. Anyone got a sample?
