This ends up with the UK bit looking a little heavier than the first part rather than the really close match I did in the Gimp version, but I kind of like the bolder UK. The roundel that contains the circle of friends lines up with the top of the ascenders and the baseline of the text. The font colour is, I think, "cool grey". It would probably be possible to manually make the weight of the weight of the UK a little less, or wait for the release of the Medium weight font.
