May I suggest a couple of things:

1. move the circle of friends to after ubuntu, rather than UK
2. this will let you drop the hyphen, which is extremely heavy visually
3. use a very thin typeface for UK, rather than bold - will look much 
more professional

If you prefer not to make these changes, at least consider replacing 
hyphen with a dot, and not in bold, but in normal ubuntu weight.
