Who's in charge of Marketing at SUFC?

Seriously. Do they think this font is good?

It's supposed to stir nostalgic thoughts about teletext I'm assuming... and I'd hazard a guess that most of the marketing graphics for Player services are done centrally, though I'm not certain on that.

You are right - it is done centrally. Still shit though

I'm going to dig out my old Spectrum ZX81 and see if I can get a job with them there Player types.

Presumably it's to remind you of how gash and technologically behind the time their service is.

Or how much the team has regressed.

Hey lighten up. It's ironic.

A lot of typefaces from the recent past look good. There is nothing so old fashioned as what was thought 'futuristic' a few years back, like DYMO for instance. The blades player thing takes me back to days trying to find cheap flights.

I like the font used for your account number on a cheque, what ever one of those is. Its straight out of BBC Apollo coverage circa. 1969, did it become the bar code??

"Calm down Dear, its a commercial!" from a real winner.

The writing on the bottom of a cheque was a very specific design to enable it to be read by machine. The ink is magnetic and the clearing system read the payment information from the bottom line. Apart from the account number the bottom line also had the cheque number and the sort code on it and the amount the cheque was made out for was encoded on it by the branch where the cheque was paid in before it was sent to clearing. I'm not sure if the system is still magnetically based but it used to be a good trick to run a strong magnet over the bottom of your cheque book. This made the cheque unreadable by the machines at clearing and thus had to be processed manually. This resulted in a delay of an additional day so your brass stayed in your account longer.

Thanks for the tip Paulus. RBS must be doing something similar, it takes them a week and a day to pay anything into my account the wee, thieving so and sos.

To answer the original question, whoever is in charge of marketing at BDTBL is useless and has been for years.
It's a shame because this is a key position.
Whoever signed up Macron should be led away and shot.

As mentioned above, the graphic you refer to is a centralised graphic which has been rolled out to all FL sites.
