the complaint about the kerning is off-base, though, the kerning on this is fine or at least not offensively bad; the "u" should probably be closer to the "l" than it is if you're just looking at the letter outlines, but the designer was probably trying to make the little river of negative space between the drop shadow on the "l" and the outline on the "u" not look any weirder than it already does
