Both this and the yellow one work for me. I vote yellow, but I think that's more subjective. Either one seems really solid.

Alternately, you could try a dark black for the outline around the letters to help them pop more.

Maybe a darker yellow? I don't have a problem with yellow in principle.

I'm okay with the font actually. Look at how clear the letter x is over your black hat. The problem is the rest of the letters over a white backdrop.

Funny enough, the semiotics of "greybeard wearing glasses" aligns with "person who knows their stuff" when it comes to polysyllabic niche information.

Color and font both get a little lost, but it's the cluttered background that makes it problematic. The font could definitely work in a clear background. Yellow on white is just a little hard to parse.

More straight forward answer for literal minded people: everything is good, actually, except the display and background of the word dyspraxia. That needs to be easily legible, eye catching, and uncluttered.

The yellow dyspraxia letters on black squiggles is damn near invisible to my eyes, and I'm borderline neurotypical.

I'm assuming that's a V:TM offshoot. I'm not lazy, I'm going to Google it, but I wanted to get it out there that's what I'm assuming. It's the colon. Gives it away every time. If you could pick up one of those face masks they used to blind nobility, I'd be very appreciative.

Bluesky just drops this in the 'Like Club' feed, and this sort of thing is why I love Bluesky. I have no idea what you're talking about. And no interest in winged dicks. But the fact that this conversation is happening? Makes the world a better place.

Great question! It's a water filtration system that uses sodium ions to pull things like calcium and magnesium from your water. It helps in lots of ways, but especially prevents lime scale build up in pipes.

If your home has a water softener, do not use the softened water to water your plants. You're literally 'salting the earth' when you do that. [You can use potassium chloride in place of sodium chloride in your softener, and then it's kay.]
