No idea what your idea was. Yellow Tesla with some random inscriptions in different languages.

And this, I presume
Thank you. Memmy is not working for me right now haha.
And what is TWRAPS?
It’s what bugs bunny calls lady boys, obv.
Eeeeeh, what's up do- oh, oh my
Why the umlaut? I don't get that part, theres just about nothing German or European about anything in this image
It’s the original logo
I see...
That american urge to use umlauts, without using the sound it signifies, always baffled me.
There's no umlaut in english, so it doesn't signify any sound in english words, it's merely a stylistic choice, kind of like writing a z at the end of a word instead of an s.
I disagree though, when you adopt from other languages the sounds follow. Of course designers don't feel like that, but they would be wrong.
I'm pretty sure that's not actually how language works.
That's actually exactly how it works and how language evolves...foreign words are absorbed into a language, adding the new pronunciations to itself. There's already a ton of English words that are either directly from foreign languages or heavily inspired by them, including their pronunciation and spelling.
But that's not what we're talking about. It's extremely extremely rare for a language to adopt a new written character.
there's the alternate spelling of naïve and it's derived words, but they are rarely used nowadays
I know the brand, but that is some deep hair gel lore
I could have gotten -100 votes on this and it would’ve been worth it for “deep hair gel lore” lmao
I had to read your comments to get it, and I knew about Tesla using glue on that, and about got2b, just not that it used to have an umlaut. I think it's funny now, though xD So, maybe the downvotes are from people who understandably didn't get it. Maybe it was a bit too convoluted. Nice effort, though! I believe in you, you got a viral meme inside you somewhere 💪
I appreciate the kind words 😭
The spray version of that product would keep my Mohawk up for many days (pretty much until I washed it out).
