Nearest web-safe colour is #990000, though I can't imagine it's of any relevance. All we have to go by are photographs of a printed page, and if the sig is digitally created we couldn't expect to get the original colour values from those.

Maybe the change in colour has something to do with the paper?

If you look at the line throught the 't', it also starts as black and changes to red at the same point as the rest of the name. But how this could happen on both the letter AND the postcard, i have no idea.

I personally think the signature is printed/stamped

It looks the same as the writing on the £50 banknote too - same colours as well - I'm sure there's a link there.

On the postcard the black loop at the bottom left of the S has some fine light lines running through it - very odd, could just be an artefact from the printing process though.

When I first saw it I felt that the link between the signature and the 50 pound note was color shifting ink which is used for authentication.

I think there is a possible link with the ink maybe, but the font is quite different in my opinion Confused

Could be a cool pen, but I'd lay odds that it's a photochop. I can do something similar in a few minutes, with a distorted picture of a monkey hugging a football on Mars, during a rainstorm, and God is watching, giving a good ole' Bronx cheer.

Yeah, just a little gradual gradient and fade, blammo. If that were ink, I would like to get my hands on some. It'd look boss on my business card. Cool

The 6 pics

Looking at the pics,
In Pic 1 If it is sunrise, then he is facing SE (leaving NTE) from Sente... possibly.
In Pic 2 You can take Sente from Taversen (leaving AVR)
In Pic 3 You can take Sente from sapientiae (leaving API IA)
In Pic 4 You can remove London?? ( and leave FOR).. not so sure about this
In Pic 5 Obviously 2 Sentes
In Pic 6, the link

This might not be spot on but there seems to be something here, what do you guys think? Confused

Hmmmm
If you use NTE and AVR twice... you can get

'A PRIVATE TAVERNA IN LONDON FOR 9.59'

strange hey?

Actually, I believe it is quite impossible to get your hands on such ink, hence its use in currency. While I agree this was probably done in Photoshop, (or the Gimp heaven forbid) I'm trying to figure out if there is an in game connection.

It may very well be just a method for us to verify the Sente sig as authentic or there may be a connection with the currency. Dunno

It may be "impossible" to get, but then it would at least exist.

Volkswagon said it was "impossible" to get the pearl blue exclusive color for online Beatle purchases on my Jetta, but I made it happen.

If it exists out there, you can get it somehow. Or at least a cheap imitation.

Concept of Redshift?

Has anyone considered that the color change in Sente's signature could be a reference to the concept of redshift? The science is certainly well over my head, but from what I can grasp redshift would indicate that an object is moving away from you (the observer) or, alternatively, that the object is young (per Halton Arp).

Anyone here have the appropriate background to understand the concept and, perhaps more importantly, divine whether there's a clue there?

Regards.
