What numbskulls approve these layouts?

[James Burke]

I have a sneaky hunch they also have a "RES55CUE", a "LAD11DER" and an "AMBU22LANCE".

And perhaps even a "CHI15EF's" car.

yep. I do work for a fire department related company and they do this all the time... ENG 24 INE and many others. I wonder if this is a traditional design that has some history with older fire trucks

They're all praying for it, because the design is so terrible.

You sure? I think they're fighting back the dry heaves and trying not to barf at such visual disarray.

I was thinking they are in a radio contest to win it. Last one standing without removing their hand wins. But you may be right.... they do look like they are praying, or blessing it.

 

[Gettin'By]

They're holding it up because the suspension isn't any better than the design.

I tried to do some (quick) research on why... I couldn't find anything really. So I'm going to guess they did this to clearly separate the number of the station from the vehicle number? Just a guess.

Yes, it was a blessing ceremony.

Just had this conversation this morning with my designer about an awful print using customer supplied artwork. Sometimes the customer likes ugly things.

I think it is the English spelling of Norwegian 'TANNTEKNIKER' for "ugly green truck", or "dental technician". Google Translate got confused, so I am not sure.
