Perfect icon choice.
I know right! It's very weird. Plus the two above. Ha, yeah. I like to joke that web designers are like writers. Instead of taking out and re-adding a comma, though, they'll change the font back and forth for an hour by like one px. (You know you're guilty of it, too.)
The smaller font (verdana!) definitely really works with it, though. And the spacing is perfect.
ANYWAY. I AM DONE WAXING POETIC ABOUT THIS. I just wanted to make that statement since it looks very simple at first glance, but it's obvious you put a lot of work into it to get it that way.
