Upper text[edit]

In the original emblem, the words الجمهورية العراقية are in custom calligraphy, which bends around the inner circle. When the font I'm using is bent around, the letters have to be made even smaller, and I didn't want to try to emulate the custom calligraphy, so I just left the upper text horizontal...

Tbe ʿayn in العراقية in the image is in the initial form, when it should be in the medial form. Thanks.--Pharos (talk) 17:48, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I only noticed your comment just now, but it's actually just the particular pseudo-Kufic script style; that's what a medial `Ayn looks like in that script... AnonMoos (talk) 14:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
