Play-By-Play Commentary

And Read All Over

Marian is just as determined to bring it back to a game inside the court, determined not to let Armin go wandering around the stands looking for hot dogs.

Here she has reduced his letters to decoration which seems to be what they were designed for in the first place. And again she's back to her basic color palette of red, white, and black with the yellow eye of the hairball peeking up and saying boo! Excellent in design, although I do think Armin might be more subtle and innovative with his use of text and subtext.

This serve is definitely more about design than concept.
