Sooo... what's the problem? Aside from the tiny text from the satellites.

The font is tiny because it must be in order to fit the name in there. Smaller names get to use bigger fonts without causing overlap.

I notice that even the tiny little illegible font still overlaps the flag.

But I'm not suggesting improvements, nosiree.
I'm just pointing out how bad that shrinking font trick sucks as a solution.
Maybe future games can look back on it and go "There's something NOT to do".

Somewhere along the way to 3D, we forgot that text is meant to be read.

Maybe it should turn into multiple lines of text....
