Bar width — which weight feels right?

The real sign's bar is quite fat (~30% of the disc). Our default is 22. Pick a weight.

The ‘o’ is the icon

The end-of-restrictions sign is a circle with a diagonal — that's also an ‘o’ with a bar through it. Replace the ‘o’ in Desto with the icon and the word becomes the mark. No separate icon needed. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Manrope
Switzer
Amber dot variant
The ‘o’ is just amber. Traffic light reading — quieter, no bar.
Amber dot + ring
Amber fill with navy ring. Halfway between the sign and the dot.

Body text

Manrope

Don't wait 22 weeks for a driving test. We watch the DVSA for cancellations and rebook you into an earlier slot. You only pay if we deliver.

Quiet so far. The DVSA usually wakes up around 7. We'll let you know. Worth doing something else in the meantime.
