i suppose "bland" is a word one could use for that color scheme, but that wasn't what i meant. i meant the low contrast and the evenness mean you don't really have a specific place to look at in that icon. it's just all over the place. it's the cap, really. i fiddled a lot with the ones of that scene, trying to fit both faces and make their features pop out more, and it didn't happen.

i think it's the outer glow on the word "millenium" partly. it overlaps his face, which is almost always a bad idea in an icon.
