new twenties

I blogged a while back about the new USD $20 bills. Today I found a nice flash interactive demo on the new look and features. I'm even less impressed than I was earlier in the year. The little yellow "20" marks on the back of the bill are just plain ugly, Jackson's shoulders look broken and weak, the "twenty usa" wavy background print thing just looks silly, the rounded corners make the bill look wimpy and the colors are an ugly washed out peach and green. What a failure. What a missed opportunity.
