Closer, you can appreciate it's meant to be some sort of confetti explosion with ribbons... or at least that is what I got from it. Personally? I feel it was not properly executed. Messy look and not all that attractive. G-Fan didn't like it at all!

Does anyone know -- is the overlay detailing done with paints, or is it a high-tech sticker, cut out of a huge sheet of adhesive vinyl with a computer?

Except when it's coming directly at you. I'd have to check to see if the overlay actually is on half of the nose and not the other half. That would be odd. But I don't know.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<>> Terrible overlay. << No it's not.>> It's my opinion that it is terrible. Just because you don't agree with my opinion doesn't make mine wrong. So, once again, it's a terrible overlay. Maybe if I saw some photos of the monorail out on the beam, I might have a different opinion, but what you posted did not look good at all. For one thing, the overlay doesn't communicate the same message as the YOAMD logo of a castle floating about the clouds. I also think the overlay doesn't look good with the existing color stripe... it looks like an afterthought instead of an integrated part of the overall design.

I said what mine was in response to others. Doesn't make mine wrong either. Who knows? Maybe I'll change my mind after a while. Right now, I like it. Jeeminey....
Originally Posted By Disneymom443 I don't think they look all that bad. trekkeruss is right everyone has their own opinion. Some mey like the look and others may not. I think that they are ok, it doesn't mean that thoes of you that don't are wrong. that is what makes everything great...So things are liked and others are not.

But I will have to look at a regular, un-overlayed monorail and see.

Originally Posted By ChiMike Yes. It has always been there. A much better logo than a lot of the recent marketing ones.
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Yeah, I miss it, and was shocked to see it still in use. It's unique, if a bit dated, but it's more standout than the generic "Disney" font used for everything else...oh well.

What safety issues are being overlooked?>> I'm not at liberty to release that information. But I would expect to see it appear in the Orlando media in the near future! In the meantime, you might want to take a magical motorcoach (not that Disney likely maintains them, either).
