Found this on another forum. Not a photoshop, think it is still up at Stockwell, not sure.

I doubt that's genuine as the tag line for the film, or style of promotional poster don't match any others available, which are usually as follows:

Also, the blue line representing a Victoria Line station looks very dark, and more like the darker blue used for Piccadilly line stations.

"Usually"? You mean you have seen a different poster?

I could prove either you or numbnuts over there right or wrong in this scenario, I just don't care enough to bother. Care enough to mention it but not to do anything.

I attached the poster for the film, all variations are in the same style, not that in the photoshopped version.

I'm surprised at your accusation of pedantry. The colours used at London Underground stations aren't at the whim of the person making or placing the sign, Gav, as I'm sure you know.

Stockwell is on the Victoria Line which is normally a noticeable light blue, as against the dark blue of the Victoria Line. There would be little point in there being a difference otherwise, unless they intended to cause confusion at interchange stations.

Re-reading your own post there stu, are you STILL surprised at the accusation?

Apparently there is no end to the "surprise" you feel at the things I utter.

One begins to wonder if I really am the master of the unexpected, or that you simply don't know me one bit.

That sentence is a complete load of bollocks.

Barcode would be proud of it.

Don't you proof read anything before you hit the 'submit' button?
