The two letters after AM look hebrew to me...or they could be normal letters, but printed badly just like the C in the beginning...

... and http://www.jugoslavija.com/ is under construction...

erm, october 2004?

1) if it is totally oog, why would someone get that and not do anything with it for that long, and it's a weird url to buy

2) if it was bought by someone OOG as a fake, how would they know back in oct 2004?

so, imho, there are 2 options:

1) it was bought by the PMs to become a IG site in the future,

or, more likely

2) it was parked by the PMs so noone could make a fake site on it in the future

My 2 cents

[JebJoya]

Heh, I've only just looked at the site ( self- ) yes, it is totally and utterly OOG (I assumed it was parked with godaddy... oops )

That is not Russian; in Russian, Yugoslavia would be written like this: Югославия. I think it's probably written in Serbian, which would make sense

Also, here is the link to the scan of all the stickers: link.

[SPEC] Regarding Russian Text on Perplex City Sticker

[leakingpen]

umm, guys...


erhaps its a mark made by the manufacturer, similar to how other stickers will have made in teh usa or china real small on them?

[[PCGF]Jay]

Or it could be that

Look at ebay.co.uk.

Is it just me or does the last character look like a bracket? A ] ?

Or perhaps it's the bad clarity of the text....

the last word is also Yugoslavia, but in Serbian/Bosnian Cyrillic. Not sure which. The middle "A" is missing.

the first part looks like "se...amn(b)" with bits removed. (that's my phonetic interpretation)

So Why Yugoslavia?? There isnt really any such place any more, is there? And what's this got to do with Perplexcity? I dont think it's a "made in yugoslavia" label : for a start it's unlikely that they were made in Yugoslavia. It would be Serbia, or Montenegro, or someplace. Secondly, it would be a very unusual sticker manufacturer that insisted that the country of origin should be hidden in the type of the sticker. You see it sometimes, usually tucked away on the back of things, on labels and so forth.
So: Unless this is a part of the font - it has been known that some of these lo-fi Fonts ship with little artifacts thrown in for texture... this doesnt seem to me, IMO, to be that either. The writing spans across too many letters for that to be a practical font texture. If, say, it were texture embedded in the letter C, and you happened to use a word with two C's in it, you'd be left with a right mess. If anybody knows the Font this is, we can double check this as fact.
So: If these points are true, this is either a Clue, or a Red Herring. But it is something. Something Confusing.
I don't think I've been particularly helpful in pinpointing what this something is, but I hope we can agree it is something nevertheless!
