Shape-Based Phrases Released into the Public Domain
Starting in 2019 and inspired by JUSX ONE MORE GAME, I came up with shape-based phrases that used the cross as an “X” rather than a “T”. I tried selling them on t-shirts though they didn't sell because I didn't use the official colors and I had poor design skills. Since PlayStation isn't interested in these designs I have released them into the public domain so that anyone can sell them on t-shirts and mugs, etc.
