I disagree with the arbitrary arrangement of characters.
If you write NYC in Webdings, you have an eye, a heart and a skyline, which I read as "I love New York". Could be a coincidence, but very unlikely IMO.
- senkora 6y agoThat is intentional and was a direct reaction to the original controversy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webdings https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webdings > Following the controversy over possible anti-Semitic messages in the Wingdings font, Connare intentionally rendered the Webdings character sequence "NYC" as an eye, a heart, and a city skyline, referring to the I Love New York logo.
- jansan 6y agoThanks, I always assumed (without checking) that Webdings preceeded Wingdings and thought this would have been a tasteless easter egg of a font designer. If Wingdings existed before Wingdings, all this makes more sense.
