From left to right, it looks like:

H - O - Al - Si - P - V - Y - Zr - Xe - W - Unq - Gd - Tm - Bk - Cf - J (in the thought bubble)

for those who never took chemistry this is the periodic table of elements. J is the only letter not used in the periodic elements.

Re: What's the Frequency, Kenneth?

definitely the best color choice. I like your chunky letters *bats eyelids*.

Re: An ACME Arsenal

ACME is the American Company that Makes Everything. Literally.

Though best known for its use by Wile E. Coyote, ACME is actually a generic company that is used in many different places in order to avoid using the name of a real company (which may open the way for lawsuits).

This design is comprised of 26 different items, one for each letter of the alphabet. If you're like Wile E. Coyote, I'm sure you could figure out a way to use each of them to catch that darned roadrunner.

These items are inspired by ACME products as I remember them from Saturday morning cartoons. A few of them have actually been used.

Some of these items could be taken as references to other things. There's one reference to Pokemon, for instance. Two other items could be seen as references to xkcd and McGyver. ;)

Re: You Doodled on My Shirt! (heather Gray)

This is cute!

Re: Artists' ABCs

A nice idea that is nicely rendered, though it needs insomnia in there somewhere. Maybe there could be an artist's disorders shirt in this derby too.

Re: An ACME Arsenal

V for Velociraptor? Would that be the XKCD reference? Sweet.

Re: Color Vision

"Color Vision"

All of the smallest dots in the halftone were removed for printing.

Re: Keep Your Books Closed

Could be a fun subtle shirt while teaching diffusion....

Neat.

Re: An ACME Arsenal

Ok...I can't figure out Q, Y, or Z. >.< Also, did you mean to leave "i" blank?

Re: Old School

First I thought it was boggle but then quickly realized it was an old school printing press. GMV!

Re: A Gamer's Alphabet

Neat!

Re: Buy A Vowel

...why is Vanna bald?

O_o

Other than that, clever!

SailorButterfly wrote:Ok...I can't figure out Q, Y, or Z. >.< Also, did you mean to leave "i" blank?

I just put up a list of everything. I is totally not blank. Human eyes just can't see the specific ink that will be used for I's image.

Those forums are SO valuable for getting advice from our most talented people. I'm very grateful for the help.

Re: Alphabet War: Vowels vs Consonants

VERY COOL! I'd definitely get one if it won! Good Luck!

Okay, I know this is probably a dumb question, but where is that quote from? I just can't place where I've heard it from. ><

Anyway, I'm usually totally against all things monkey because they tend to be popular just on the basis of being a monkey, but I actually think this is really well done. I really like the look on his face. Good job.

Turbotuff wrote:green doesn't wanna fight back?

I figured I just wanted to show the subjugation of Helvetica by Garramond. The Old San Sarif vs. Sarif font battle. Helvetica is simply fearing for their lives as Garramond uses the power given to it by millions of designers to destroy all fonts in its way.

I found it!

Re: i like books

Is there actually an item for every letter?

Loving the Elephant and the UFO especially right now.

Re: Giraffeabet

Very cute!

Re: Real Gamers Use Dice

The underscores on the M and W - brilliant.

Re: Keep Your Books Closed

What really makes this design worth is the lightness that prevails throughout. What I mean is that the books are very minimal looking and they just feel like they contain letters that will float away... does that make any sense? probably not.

Re: There he is!

A puzzle and a shirt. Are you up to the challenge? Can you find Waldo?

Can someone identify the species of monkey?

Man, I would have known this back in elementary school. I used to be a huge animal lover. Wanted to be a zoologist.

Re: i like books

Edgar, I now believe there is way more stuff going on in your head than in mine. GMV!

Re: Never Gonna' Give You Up

I think it said you can only use each letter once...

Too bad you couldn't cover the whole shirt in blocks. =P

Re: Giraffeabet

I heard much of these leap year giraffes. Wonderful!

tgentry wrote:Yeah this really isn't a quote per se so much as an old saying. I looked for the 'original' but couldn't find it. I think it may be just an idea that's been passed along, quoted and requoted.

Kinda like Shakespere... *rimshot* Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night.

GMV btw just in case you were wondering

Re: Real Gamers Use Dice

This really is meant as a serious comment and not a troll...

What purpose would dice with letters serve a gamer?

I mean, scattegories is cool... but if I were fighting a dragon and rolled a 'Q', what exactly would happen?

Re: Kidphabet

I don't want to be rude Spryte, but this is just something I wouldn't wear.

It really seems like something designed for a child, as opposed to something wearable by an adult ... let alone an adult male.

A duck jumps on your head (Quack) and you get eaten by the hungry dragon.

Woo Hoo!! Awesome! I'm glad some people know about it.

Re: i like books

Wonderful design! Now this is the Edgar that I love. (So much more expressive than the amoeba imho.) Wonderfully creative and great shape on the shirt. Love the yellow tee too! I hope this is your week my friend! This is definite winner in my eye! GMV.

Re: Keep Your Books Closed

Still wishing there were some golden letters, but it's beautiful nonetheless.
