peer agreement (net): +1common idenitity of the various locations Explanation: I think your version of the second half is fine, but "common" + "shared by" is a little redundant. I don't about "Beschriftung", though. Why not just "lettering"? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-11-12 13:26:09 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Uniform lettering that complies with specified font types, color and spacing requirements will help to bring out the common identity of the various locations. |
