Cartway United Reformed and Methodist Church, Bridgnorth

A nice modern poster here from the Methodists/URCs.  Striking and simple: a black, white and red colour scheme, nicely proportioned and at a pleasing angle.  The use of courier font, gives it a nice old school typewriter effect as well, which adds to the overall charm of the poster.

It does seem though, that the keyboard doesn't have the usual QWERTY lay-out and rather bizarrely features two S keys at least - perhaps it is the result of some new ergonomic keyboard layout, with multiple versions of the most common letters (half a dozen Es, no doubt).  The only other time I have seen something similar was when a college lecturer friend of mine left a group of students unsupervised in a computer lab and they rearranged the letters on several keyboards to spell out various words, although the result was a lot less spiritual than in this case...

Regardless of all that, this is a cracking bit of design and deserves to be celebrated.
