In that picture he has all the charisma of a young Omar Sharif. Kingsley looks a little bit like Peter Sellers in Blake Edwards's "The Party" (1968), no? Great pictures, Jordan.

Jake looks iconic. Shouldn't one of those swords have a sand tank? "What the font!?" was my first reaction, though. Love the tagline. Jake looks iconic.

“What the font!?” was my first reaction, though.

Still, the blocky sans serif type does seem a bit out of place (too "modern"), and the walt disney logo sticks out like a sore thumb. Nice grayscale+red trickery though.

I think that font (and composition of text) would be more suited to a modern corporate website however, it looks really out of place and is unfortunately the first thing that I noticed.
