Re:Revising MailChimp's logo by bradleyland on Friday July 12, 2013 @04:26PM (#6034981)
I'm really puzzled why the designer chose to open some specific areas here. Specifically, the letters "m" and "p" in Chimp.

Cursive script has some "tight" areas for a reason. For example, the first and second vertical strokes of the lowercase "m" are supposed to overlap to form the appearance of a single stroke. The break for the curve should not start at half of the x-height. Likewise for the lowercase "p", the break for the curve should not start so low.

The net result is reduced readability, IMO.
