Re: Ribet the frog


My apple got rejected so I am going to try again with a frog and with bigger font! I hope this font is big enough. I really like the concept I am working with
I only used the letters f, r, o & g.

Comments?

This is really cute! My sister would love this shirt. I hope it gets past the rejectionator though.. it is not obvious by looking at the design alone that it is made of text. Good luck though! GMV

There are 10 types of people: those who know binary, and those who don't.

Thanks!
I was going for a not-so-obvious-it-is-made-out-of-text look but hopefully that does get it rejected. Last one was rejected because of the font size so we will see

so cute! and a different take - handwriting rather than a font.

Are you sure? It looks like a font to me.

It looks great. The not-so-obvious-text gives it a cool texture.

This is darling and would be great to wear when you are hoarse or have a "frog in your throat" and sound more like croaking than speaking.

Re: Ribet the frog


the overlapping text gives it an interesting texture... Neat idea...

I really like the design, but i'm over the defaulted (?) asphalt background. I think using a different colored background would make it "pop".

It can be. Since frogs do not have a written language, what they actually say is up for interpretation, especially when trying to transliterate it into English. Neither spelling is listed at dictionary.com , fyi.

But a google search gives me some mathematician for ribet.

PS - This has no real bearing on anything because it's not actually in the design. I just thought it was funny.

I thought it was funny too , and in my own way tried to add to it. I even thought about postulating that the alternative spelling was a subconscious homage to the mathematician and the theory named for him, but I thought that woudl be too much, so decided to go with a literary riposte instead a mathematical one. Just giddy silliness on my part.

only this one and kelly green and I think asphalt did a better job. but i was pretty hesitant in using asphalt I know a lot of people don't like it.
