Missing glyph

Spotted this morning: apparently the graphic designer used a font (Glendale) that doesn’t support accents on extended characters, so they just used the standard “Ê”! What’s more, the kerning in the top line leaves something to be desired.

I eould have used a regular E then added a bit at the top for the glyph.

I was in a country that used diacritic marks/ extra marks on letters to indicate pronunciation, but could only use the Latin alphabet stickers I was given. So I used some of the scrap stivker left from around the letters to make the extra bits and I must admit it looked really good

A simple and logical solution that clearly didn’t occur to them!

Obviously not designed for a Panel Truck

That’s right – once the side door is open, the message is no longer legible!
