# I sent Newmarket Town Council a very polite email, advising them of the slight whoopsie they made on their posters
...They weren't too interested



*edit* this could be on the wrong board, so advance apologies if that is the case, I honestly haven't a clue where I should post this

# ^ this
I've just been looking round the olympic website to see if I can find this listed among approved images - couldn't find anything, but the fact that the official font on which they spent squillions just looks like a slightly more angular verson of TEH SANS was deeply disappointing.

# I've had a nosey
round the various official sites and I can't find it anywhere. My guess is some bored council underling who did it for a laugh is probably being hauled over the coals as we speak.

and their superiors haven't bothered to chase it up
