Yeah, I agree that "+" has connotations of "better". But I think the "!"
seems to have a "Warning" feeling to it, especially in red. (It's a typical
icon in warning error message dialog boxes, for example.) That doesn't mean
it's necessarily a bad choice -- maybe it's just me. If it weren't for the
space issue, I'd pick "*".

commercials, looks good.

Agreed.
