Seems to me that WIN is all looser than ERSON. Just a smidge.

Due to the optical illusion which always occurs with white type on a black background it makes the letters look more tightly kerned on the black than the white. However each version looks correct to me, so unless you want to be a perfectionist and loosen the kerning slightly on the black background so the eye sees them the same, I think you have done a very nice job :)
In fact I prefer the white on black as the kerning looks slightly tighter, yet the word still covers the same length.

Hey there,

thanks for your input - very helpful.

Thomas - The WIN was problematic for sure and it is looser as you say, the space either side of the 'I' is challenging , but when I was balancing the entire shape and 'colour' of the word they somehow needed to be spaced differently - however I will try and look at that again.

tdabner - thank you - good points, it's encouraging to have your approval on this.

thanks

SO looks a bit loose, specifically its top part. Similarly TE looks tighter than ER if one focuses on the top part. Very very marginally, perhaps due to that protrusion on the left of E's bar.

Yes, but the top part of TE *should* be tighter than the top part of ER, because of that big honking gap on the lower part of the T.

Cheers,

Oh, I realize that. However the protrusion on E drives the eyes to the top part, which makes it arguably more visually important than the gap at the bottom.

Thanks guys.

Ive altered it - looks spot on now.

Cheers
