Yeah I do get where you're coming from. The photo itself is looking all mean and moody, which is enhanced by the lack of colour. So the font doesn't help matters really. But at the same time, it would look really silly to add a fun happy font to such a moody pic.
I would have liked to have seen a full colour, smart casual photo, with the guys looking relaxed and happy.
To be honest, Pete looks like a bullied wee boy in those photos and I have to wonder if the guys have been pulling his leg a bit perhaps? I suppose he's under a hell of a lot of pressure having to live up to Gary Husband's standards.
But...oh well don't mind me...I always look beyond the obvious and usually see more than is really there.
