"NYC" appears to have been set in plain type and then emboldened w/o adjusting kerning.

Nowehere near as good as the London olympics logo.

― Abbott, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:43 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, the NYC is way overbolded.

― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:44 (eighteen years ago)

Even correcting for "NYC", the design is clearly amateurish.

― libcrypt, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:47 (eighteen years ago)

Agreed. It's not properly proportioned at all, and whoever designed it robbed the city blind.

― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:48 (eighteen years ago)

Uh, link to NYTimes article about it. But the NYC is the new NYC logo (and is a bit meh but OK when used appropriately), and it was added inappropriately to the taxis. Design by bureaucracy etc.

Oh, that's the NYC logo? If you're going to logo-fy your municipality, take a cue from the Canadians and do it with a little bit of artistic decorum.

The lack of space between the letters, "N", "Y", and "C", ought appear less accidental.

― libcrypt, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:56 (eighteen years ago)

it's just bad enough to be awesome.

― El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 December 2007 01:58 (eighteen years ago)

Looks like they did it for free.

The Potts version also has "Watch where you're drivin', motherf***er!" on the hood, so you know what to say when you nearly get run over by one.

― snoball, Monday, 24 December 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

Wow. This Mr. Potts is a real winner. His website is awesome.
