Usually a magazine overlays its title with a very dramatic photo of a person, which makes the person stand out. And usually only a few letters are obscured. Our brains are quite good at filling in the details.

I'm a lot less impressed by a fricking navigational toolbar that obscures the top of every letter of the logo. What remains are the less recognizable bottom halves of the letters. The T and I (not shown, but also F) look identical for instance. I'll believe that this is intentional, but I think it looks horrible.
