Pardon My Star

I was walking up Avenue B the other day, passing the new French restaurant called Pardon My French, when I noticed something I hadn't noticed before:

Low-res star.

Unless I'm mistaken, the image that was used to make this star was pulled from off the web, and was a low-resolution .jpg. It might have been fine at half an inch, but at this size, it seriously degrades.

It's probably one of those things few people will notice, or if they do, they'll think was intentional — part of the décor.

Now that I think about it, if people notice anything, it'll be that the name of the restaurant looks like: Pardon My <scribbly line>! Now that I think about it even more, I wonder if the scribbly line of the name and the scribbly edge of the star are meant to correspond?

Cutting-edge design… in the East Village Today!
