I don't think the foot itself is distorted, if you're talking about
aspect ratio. One is only a couple of pixels bigger than the other each
way.

Or are you talking about some other aspect?

It's simply a different font, as I understand it, and the one on the
splash seems to be the old font laid out side-by-side as in the new one.

It's a shame the new font wasn't used.
