The Shortest Beta-Reading Assignment Evar

[rj_anderson]

GIP! Finally, a House icon.

Now, can somebody tell me if they can read the text? I never can be sure how clear it is, because of course I already know what it says...

ETA: Okay, have played with text and background. Any better now?
ETA2: And again, now sharpened and in PNG format! Is it clearer or am I delusional?

I could read it, but I had to sort of put my nose to the screen and squint. The bottom part is much more readable than the top part.

Yeah, definitely a lean-over-and-squint icon. Anything to spread the House love, though!

*squints* It actually seems harder to read now- the top is almost impossible.

I, too, am in the 'squint' section. It's a combination of the light color and the er, puffy letters.

Try all-caps and bold or bold italic. That usually helps with small text. Especially with serif fonts.

Definitely squint. It's just so small. But, like, better than some which are completely unreadable.

If that's an actual quote from "House" then I might actually be interested in it -- if I knew if and when it was airing here, and my luck I've already missed it.

It's airing in Australia right now -- just started a couple of weeks ago. The quote is from "Three Stories", the second-to-last (and best) episode of the season.

Yeah, I tried that, didn't like the look of the all caps. Ah well.

I can read it pretty easily, but i'm on a high res monitor.

[rj-anderson.livejournal.com]

Ah. So am I. This may be the problem. :)

I'm having to squint at it - perhaps one of those flashy ones that switches between text and picture? At least that'd give you more space to show the text in...

[lapsus-0-calami.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what it says, sorry.

[reveilles.livejournal.com]

I had to squint. How about shrinking the size of the picture, or just cropping to be around his head, and letting the words fill up the rest of the space?
