very clean... though whilst I like Bello for some of its letterforms, its really let down by the form of the lowercase "y", your implementation here is awesome though, adds just the right about of focus without drawing too much away.
Depending on the length of the Bello/Georgia text, you may want to tighten the line spacing a bit. The top line looks good — balanced, with some of Bello's forms rising above Our Philosophy's cap height. Maybe bring the lower line up so its baseline is even with Our Philosophy's baseline.
Bello usually needs a lot of room and attention. I've tried it for small headlines, but it always works best for me very large. When it has that kind of spotlight, it's beautiful. At small sizes, you might consider lightening its color very slightly to help it more closely match a text with a lighter overall tone.
Thanks for all the suggestions! Will be changing this up per many of the suggestions.
Also worthy to note, we decided to code this complete with web fonts, so that Knockout has changed to League Gothic. (Bello, available with Typekit.) No type-as-images!

I like the arrangement, though not a fan of Bello used in text form, or a fan of Bello in general. ;D
Love how clean this is.

If you want to keep your originals, you could use Cufón.

@Mitch Doesn't that generate Flash, render slow, and make text unselectable? If it's changed, of course we'll look into it.
