Great font and a well chose subject , but this is not exactly the most interesting view of the Campanile. It is well lit, but the roof top is distracting and it seems to float out of any defined place.
The image is tilted to the left and the logo doesn't help that any. From a technical standpoint, the image is properly focused, but it's a tad oversharpened - you can see the halo on the right side of the clock tower. However, it is iconic of UC-Berkely and that's what counts.
