Wow, thanks Eagle! Very generous of you, sir.
I wonder if I could use this to pay for my airport shuttle when I go on vacation later this month.

Very nice, Eagle!

It appears that the stylized Katakana characters on the lower left front of the card represent either the word "bus" or "pass." Which is it? And was this writing inspired by something in the film, or was it just your own plentiful ingenuity? It's quite clever.

Thank you for sharing the file with us!

It's just a random few letters from a random font! Widjana vintage I think. Smile

Random?

It seems you have the magic touch!

You happened to choose a combination that looks very much like a stylized version of the word "bus."

Hehe, cool. Smile Lucky I guess. Smile

It was the one thing I had the biggest hang-up over on this project; what symbols to use and hoping they wouldn't cause offence if I tried to make them look pseudo-oriental.

Well, I'm not sure what instinct led you to choose these particular shapes in this particular order, but they work even better than you might have expected!
