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

your claim about the kerning complaint being off base is off base >:U the B drop bits touch the L outline and same with the u and e, plus ignoring the drop bits the L is significantly not centered between the B and u regardless. ratio

my new favorite hideous design decision on this is the overly thick vector display/neon sign hairlines in the background, and the second layer of slightly less awful hairlines in the foreground, and then slam the whole thing with a layer of film grain that upon closer inspection looks like it might just be photoshop random noise
