:Oh.

Ultra FunMachine OCD

On the cover of the magazine, I originally transcribed the console in the top-right corner as ULTRA FUNMACHINE OD. I know it's supposed to be CD, but if you look at the other C's along the top, it doesn't match. It looks more like the O's. I can kind of see a tiny notch missing that suggests a C (or it might just be "wear" from "age"), but it's weird that the font would be different for just that one letter. — It's dot com 22:30, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh. Yeah, I see what you mean. About the notch and the other C's. The only thing that might resolve this is to find the original font used there and see what uppercase C's look like. The other C's are in the middle of words and could be "lowercase" C's in that font. Also of less interest are the E's: they have the same kind of curvature as the O's and our mystery C. We also can't rule out that the O was photoshopped to look like a C. In fact, I'm rather inclined to leave the text as a "C" because the notch is noticeable enough and the gap on the E's is almost as faint! --Stux 22:47, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
