It looks Greek to me!

First word starts with an Omega sign, I think. Am I hot or cold?

Well, it's not actually a foreign language - just an exotic font. And even though it may look foreign, what it says should be fairly simple to decipher because throughout the past 4 years, whenever a major DS character has made his/her first or last appearance in an episode run on Sci-Fi, that day's montage has ALWAYS commemorated it.

And FYI, the previous 8 weekday montages (starting with the one for episodes #505 & #506) have all employed this very same font. But I'll concede that the way this font depicts "June, 1968" is closer to the way a so-called "normal" font might depict that date than the way it depicts the message at the top of today's montage (for episodes #521 & #522). I thought this font looks like something that might have been used in some ancient, mystical text, so it seemed to be the perfect way to commemorate everyone's favorite warlock's appearance.

So, loosen up.

Go with the flow.

The montages are meant to be fun, after all.

Does it say, "Welcome, Nicholas Blair!"?

Yes, it does.

Once you mentioned about the new character on DS, I saw "Nicholas Blair" in the unusual font but couldn't figure out what the other word was until I started matching the letters and came up with "L" and then "C " then "E". All of sudden, I saw "Welcome".

I'm so excited! I figured out something!

You've got better eyesight than I, Carol!

Okay, so now we all have to brush up on our "Symbol".

What's next, Benefattore? "Webdings"? "Magneto"? "Copperplate Gothic"?.....No, that's a bit too obvious.

OH, of course! With YOUR avatar,.....Papyrus, !!
