I counted "Hello" in more than 30 languages in the new 7 logo, but not Greek. I would think it rather hard to miss Greek when doing Unicode, so is this some internal private wager that Panos Merakos lost?

Missing Greek in LC 7 logo
Hello LC 7 logo designer(s),
I counted "Hello" in more than 30 languages in the new 7 logo, but not Greek. I would think it rather hard to miss Greek when doing Unicode, so is this some internal private wager that Panos Merakos lost?

This is like the hubris of the Greeks blocking Macedonia calling itself Macedonia because they cannot cope with the fact that Alexander the Great was a Thracian.
Re: Missing Greek in LC 7 logo
It is amazing to find so many inconsistencies in a single sentence like the one you posted. Almost one in three words.
I really won't take this any further - I put a smilie at the end of my message to show that I meant it lightheartedly, but apparently this was not clear enough for some.

The uppercase eta is there, close to huge, isn't it?
And I can see the german "H", close to huge.
Just look in your way to things...
[-etaeta]

Funny how there isn't a Scots 'з' as well as various obscure characters from other minority languages.
Maybe the reason for this is because the 7 would have to be as big as the Ritz to accommodate all those
whacked-out letters, syllabics, heiroglyphs and so forth.
Pushing things to a reductio ad absurdam always results in showing up nonsense for what it is.
