Using a UILabel to make a custom circular Badge.

I have a the following extension that I use to create a custom circular badge. For now it works great for number 2 and up but whenever the number 1 is passed to it the badge loses it's nice circular shape.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

extension UILabel {
    func addBadge(label: UILabel, badgeCount: String) {
        label.clipsToBounds = true
        label.layer.cornerRadius = label.font.pointSize * 0.60
        label.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
        label.textColor = UIColor.white
        label.text = " \(badgeCount) "; // note spaces before and after text
    }
}
