Coruscant signage
Among the signs seen on Coruscant are "ONIGHT", "UGBS" (mirror-inverted), an advertisement called "SODA"; an ad for "STAR TOURS"; "TELCOM", "ROSS", "HOT" (part of the Ross storefront), "NOODLE BAR", "PHONE", "CABARET" and "MASSAGE".
A red sign is glimpsed on a building near the marketplace; it says "[obscured]EN" (the same design can be seen in other episodes, outside Chezdeze and Trueping's, where it says "OPEN").
Droids Spa signage
The words "DROIDS SPA" can be seen over the entrance to the Droid Spa (notice how the sign says "droids", plural, while the actual business is called Droid Spa, singular). Signage outside the maintenance spa promises:
OIL CHANGES, RUST REMOVAL
MEMORY FLUSHING, POLISHING
MOTIVATOR REPAIR, DE-FLUTTERING,
RESTRAINING BOLT APPLICATION
AND REMOVAL, GENERAL
MAINTENANCE OVERHAULS,
JUNK REMOVAL[1]
"De-fluttering" seems to be a reference to Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, where C-3PO remarks that R2-D2 "appears to have picked up a slight flutter" while in the garage at the Lars Homestead.
The signs inside promise "RECHARGE", "REPOLISH", "REPAIR", "REFIT".[1]
Base monitors
During C-3PO's and R2-D2's torture sessions in Bane's Coruscant base, the red screen says "LOADING".
When the protocol droid is tortured, the screen says "C-3PO" : "HUMAN CYBORG RELATIONS", and also displays a jumble of symbols and numbers that don't mean anything; this can be seen as Bane says, "I don't want this gibberish. I want the plans for the Senate Building".
Aurebesh characters are also seen on the touch-screen used to operate the machine, along with various numbers.
When C-3PO's astromech partner is going through the ordeal, the screen shows Aurebesh gibberish, most of which is upside-down.
Coruscant posters
Advertisements reading "SULCASKY! AN EXHIBITION" can be seen on buildings near the spa.
Posters promising "CORUSCANT NIGHTS" are seen at the marketplace (best seen when HELIOS-3D and the IG-86 sentinel droid are searching for Artoo). Stargazer posters can be seen from far away, but they are unreadable.
When the speeder brings C-3PO to Cad Bane, Bane is standing in front of a billboard which says "VIDEO STORE" and "KL FKJ G[obscured]" – "FAD FA[obscured]". Parts of another sign can be glimpsed near him, and another advertisement in the background (barely readable) shows Aurebesh gibberish.
