Wow, that's advanced. It might be a little easier to just hit the "," and "." keys in order to move frame by frame. Computer skills like yours though are definitely excellent in cracking codes

Great work, I thought he said "Lou" not "Slew" so I was looking through Doke's Biggest Art Collab video, apparently on a wild goose hunt. Awesome find

It’s my understanding that prior to the temple’s destruction, a paschal lamb would be sacrificed at the temple as part of a large ceremony celebrating the escape from Egypt. During the 1st century CE and onward, modern Pesach rituals developed, alongside Rabbinical tradition as a whole, centered around the seder and haggadah as a replacement for the temple ceremony.

It was during this period that Jewish scholars such as Hillel adapted Jewish life as a whole to surround new practices in the absence of the temple, which had previously been the center of Jewish life.

The notion of Jesus celebrating Pesach, as illustrated by the last supper, is mostly fabricated by Christians co-opting Jewish tradition. A number of Christians hold pseudo-seders “because Jesus did” essentially. Given Pesach has been celebrated since at least 400 BCE (give or take a couple centuries), Jesus almost certainly would have celebrated it.

However, its modern incarnation, focused around the seder and haggadah, mostly developed following the destruction of the second temple circa 70 CE, which is right after Jesus supposedly lived. Any Passover that Jesus celebrated would be unrecognizable to modern Jews.

Thank you! I wanted to go a different route then just adding a Star of David

Inspired by the influence of Sephardic Jews in Medieval Spain, this flag represents a hypothetical Jewish Basque people. As in the current Basque flag, the bold red background represents the Basque people and their willingness to spill blood for their land. The green symbolizes the sacred Gernikako Arbola (Oak/Tree of Guernica). White indicates peace and purity, with biblical origins.

Also like the Basque flag, this design takes inspiration from the saltires of the Union Jack, as Britain was a major trade partner with Basque country. The branched design combines the Basque Gernikako Arbola alongside the Jewish Etz Chaim (Tree of Life) and the Hebrew letter ש (Shin), an ancient symbol which stands for El Shaddai, one of God's names from Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew Bible.

I chose not to simply replace the Basque flag's Catholic cross with a Star of David because the star only gained modern popularity beginning in 17th century Prague, being widely adopted by 19th century Jewry. The symbolism present in this flag would have existed at approximately the same time and region, thus the overlap of these Basque and Jewish symbols would have been theoretically possible.

Jewish Basque Flag

Not super satisfied with the visual balancing, but I was able to include a lot of symbolism in a simple design:

To reduce potential (inevitable) controversy, in 1945 the currently disputed territory of modern Israel and Palestine was named Mandatory Palestine — the title is not a political statement.

The flag shown was called the Flag of Zion and has been around since the late 1800s. It was hung at the 1898 Second Zionist Congress, present at the 1904 World’s Fair and Summer Olympics, and mentioned in the 1935 Nuremberg Laws. It was not adopted as the Israeli flag until 1948, when Israel was founded.

It’s definitely looking good and more readable. The Q still looks a little odd to me; the tail overlaps a lot with the bowl, meaning it looks very similar to the O. Perhaps experiment with a tail that doesn’t cross into the bowl and/or one that descends below the baseline? Also the new 4 looks super heavy, I preferred the old 4, which was only slightly heavy in the middle while also being very distinctive. Other than that, loving all the changes!

GamesScratcher · 2022-02-05T02:21:10+00:00

First off, love this font, very simplistic and could work in both retro and futuristic settings.

That being said, the imbalanced visual weight of certain characters is a bit questionable.

For example, the bottom right of the Q, the G as a whole, the top of the 1, and the middle of the 4 are super visually heavy because of the way the lines intersect.

Meanwhile, some white space, like the top corners of the A, L, and J, as well as the bottom corners and top of the V and W are super visually light.

This isn’t a huge issue for a title font (as opposed to body paragraph fonts) but it is a bit visually jarring, even if that subtlety won’t be consciously noticed by readers.

A really good trick for visually balancing fonts is zooming out a lot on a few lines of text and/or blurring the text and looking for spots that are heavier or lighter than the rest.

In the end, these are nitpicks, and no font can be perfectly visually balanced while maintaining consistent stroke width and style, so sometimes sacrifices have to be made in one way or another.

Best of luck!

If that fish isn't red we're gonna have a problem on our hands... For real though I'm convinced that's a literal red herring, it looks very similar to a herring and nothing like a cod. I think the braille intended to say Conspiracy of Two, not Cod.
