"What is up with this banner?" you ask. "I can't read Chinese!"
"Aha!" I reply. "That's because it isn't in Chinese."

Cool! Had to read it twice to get it. Looks very Oriental at first glance.

Yeah, I was fooled too. It has some of that double-take quality that Scott Kim's letterplay and inversions work has. I'll have fun just trying to figure what to do with this. Wait, wait, here's one thing! How about reorienting the lettering for a 1732x650 image (without the protected Serenity logo) that would fit a coffee mug or T-shirt at Zazzle? Or maybe even the phrase would be protected property, hard to say. Thanks for the tip on Xu Bing, though: bookmarked his web page for later reading.
