Just moving it to the top would help, The other part of the problem is that we need some way to ensure that the text has contrast with its background. It's a variant of the exact same problem we always have when we have text or icons floating on top of an arbitrary background. Every time we encounter this, the only feasible solution we have ever found is to give the text a background or a shadow.
  
  
  Can we try a non-blurred shadow instead? One that is offset by 1 px? that might help too. I think when we use blurred, it gets messy at those sizes.
