Who's Programming These Signs? |

Posted by R36 #9346 on Fri Dec 5 10:27:56 2014 I've noticed that recently, I noticed some subtle differences with some of the signs on MTA buses.Sometimes, it looks okay. For instance, increased spacing between characters on that 10×23 rear sign some buses have.  Then again, there are those routes with four characters in the route number.   Then there's the thin D on the M14D.  But the most egregious violations of sign formatting seem to be on MTA Bus. For instance, this sign used on the Q104  This sign on the Q65. For reference, this "via 164 ST" sign uses the 12-pixel font… on a Titan!  Meanwhile, the Q15's "via 154 ST" sign, which is only one character different from the Q65's (not counting the route number, of course), uses the 18-pixel font. (not my pic)  The text on the Q65's side sign is just as ridiculously small for the size of the sign. That 12-pixel font would look better here as opposed to the 7-pixel font being used.  Then there's that whole left-justified thing. Why not keep everything centered, like it's been for who knows how long?   We've seen it on the Titans and the MAX series. It's even affecting (infecting?) some Horizon signs.  I guess whoever did this one didn't like the appearance of the Y in the 7DVW5 font, as the Y from the standard 7DVW is used here. |
