Writing hidden in the stickers

whereabouts on the stickers are you looking? you can just make out the words 'Mark City' on the side of a sign in the bottom-left sticker. Is that what you are referring to?

Interestingly, if you go to http://www.markcity.com then what do see? That's right, a cube!! But still, the rest of the site would suggest that it is OOG

I think he means in the top right sticker. There's definitely some small writing above the E in 'the' that says Jugoslavia with some other characters aboue the U and the B in 'Cube'.

The first one is above the E in THE on the top right hand black sticker. The one with the reward in Euros.

There is definitely something there, however, with the current scans, I can't really make out anything...

The text above the E is actually:

JUGOSLAVIJA

Ok, I scanned the sticker on very high resolution. Here's the tiny text we're talking about here...

this is a nice little table for finding the roman equivelant of the cyrillic characters. however, the second last character from the sticker doesn't seem to exist? anyone know if there are any character sets out there which are similar to cyrillic?
also, when i try and use any russian to english translator on the web with the roman equivelant of the words it doesn't find anything....

The cyrillic there is basically the same as the english--it reads phonetically "oogosl vija" (if one counts the j the same as the j in jugoslavija)

What's the other language? It looks a little like Arabic but it's not as far as I know.
