The typeface is too complex (and usually trademarked) for small sizes, look at e.g. the Blu-ray: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/14/Blu-ray_Disc.svg > > * Using colour for differentiating between various media is > probably not > the best choice, because it does not help at all to colour > blind people > and we should avoid icons that are hard to recognise to > visually > impaired people > > How about having both text and color?

But yea, the colour might help, but I am not sure if I like it enough to use it :-) Btw. seeing the typeface, it seems like I have a few mistakes there...
