In my opinion the old icons look much better. The examples given of the new icons look unfinished and choppy.
@fortawesome: Could we get some views that show true to size comparisons of the new font at a few different scales. Some overly large images of 4 of the icons just doesn't cut it near as well as seeing things how we would use them!
@fortawesome: See how you have the super large versions of your font's on the font awesome homepage? Make sure the new icons still look good that big!
