I'm not clear on why we want to get rid of the * on the i, if we're not trying to make the logo text transformable. Could someone say more about this? (Justin, Jess?) Is consistency with the floe logo important? I quite like it as-is.
If we do put the * on the left side, I vote for keeping the dot on the i for clarity's sake. I like the Droid Sans font. And +1 to adding Open Dyslexic where we can (UIO etc).
