Dominik sent me this (Thank you!) from Russia:

(Though it is in many ways derived from Latin, so it is inherently Latinised…)

    The letterforms in САБВЭЙ are all pretty standard post-Petrine Russian letters, so ‘Latinised’ yes, but they were made that way 300 years ago.

    The attempt to ape the English logotype is amusing though, in a sad way. That really doesn’t work.

    Yes that’s why I said it’s inherently latinised, part of the concept I guess. But yes, that C looks sad!

    Very funny. :)
    I saw many ‘SUBWAYs’ in Moscow
    but never saw them ‘cyrilized’ this way. :)
    The ‘inventor’ of cyrillic version didn’t think much.
    He just used Futura bold cyrilized by Vladimir Efimov in 90-es. :)
