The warning seems clear: "Do not gamble against the closing doors. The dice will ricochet in a perfectly perpendicular trajectory and embed themselves into your person."

Duh.

There's a more glaring error: the typeface isn't Helvetica Bold, the MTA standard. Helvetica Regular has a slight serif whose downward stroke of the "a" ends as a stroke to the right. The "[Pl]ease" shows the 'bad' "a."

No quadrilaterals.

I know, it really bugged me too. So much that I had to take a picture. Here you go: DoNotLeanOnDoor.jpg

I think it is "no spitting"...I saw this on an E train home tonight, and walked through to a second car and saw the same signs there, in the same spots--pretty sure these are legit MTA-issued signs. The old E trains have signs that read "No smoking, no spitting, no radio playing," so it makes sense to offer a visual representation of those rules. However, this graphic could use some work!

Hey, on that subject (of bad printers), has anyone noticed on the N, R line at least, that the "do not lean on the doors" sign has mismatched fonts on it? I just saw that yesterday, on my way to 49th street station.

yes! I saw that last night on the Q train. All the 'o's where sideways* and one of the 'a's was bigger than the rest, it was insanely strange.

*I'm a graphic designer, I know when an o is sideways.

Photos please!

It's definitely the no littering sign, with extra lines. It's a mistake! someone messed up at the printer. That's why they look so legit. Because nobody checked before printing a zillion of them!

Ha! Some lazy ass is gonna get fired.
