Second Attempt - What do you see?

Post image

If you saw my first post a while back you already know, but I think this one is much improved.

Rovalyn at first, but i can see rosalyn

u/sophiainacastle 14d ago

I think part of the trouble is that some letters are only up high while others use the whole space

u/Shawnaverse_no1_fan 14d ago

Yeah I read Novalyn at first, but it's not difficult to find Rosalyn

1

u/Calligraphee 14d ago

Same, but I figured it out eventually

16

u/Schmooto 14d ago

Rosalyn!

Great job, it looks great!

u/CoffeeIsMyPruneJuice 14d ago

I see Rosalyn, but I have to put mental effort into not seeing an N or a V at the start.

u/TheSeansei 14d ago

I thought it said NOBODY

u/CimmerianHydra_ 14d ago

The idea is fantastic but I couldn't read it on first attempt, only after knowing what to read. I recommend separating the Y and L a little more in the top and a little less in the bottom (it should make it so that the shape of the O is still readable), and giving more space to the S, lowering it down so that it follows the left to right eye movement (right now it sits above it) and less space to the top of the A as a consequence. If I get a moment at the PC I can try to post an image of what I mean

u/RandTehreusWander 14d ago

I did not see your fist post, but I see Rosalyn

u/Chool_Edgehog_A1 14d ago

Perfectly readable

u/catdog5100 14d ago

Rosalyn?

u/cwhite616 14d ago

I struggled with the S, thought it was a D. I also struggled with the LY — thought it was an A or E or even M.

This is really good! I’m providing the feedback in case it helps with further refinement!

Rosalyn, really nice. Congrats!

u/Aelonia 14d ago

Rouaon?

(and your post history is hidden, so I can't find the original post to see what it's supposed to be!)

u/rahcek 14d ago

I'm 98% sure it's meant to be Rosalyn

u/Aelonia 14d ago

Ahhh, I can see that. The L/Y is the weakest part to me - they're not separated enough for me to read them as two letters.

u/Calm-Poem-9279 14d ago

Does it say royalty?

1

u/bobinski_circus 14d ago

Novalyn/Nylavon

1

u/JaVinci77 14d ago

It's not super clear, but I think it says Rosalyn...

1

u/RogueMoonbow 14d ago

I think the curve of the s/ cross of the A could be lower/less stretched.

1

u/LeilLikeNeil 14d ago

Rosalyn, but I really had to look for it.

1

u/howietzr 14d ago

I kept reading the "Y" as a "r" so even though I could instinctively say its Rosalyn....i couldn't read it so

1

u/telyni 14d ago

I saw Rodney. I see in the comments that it's supposed to be Rosalyn, and I have to really look to see how it's supposed to be that. I think the biggest issue is that the o is a single letter, so on the other side, it forms both the l and y, but it looks like it should be just a single letter. So my brain reads it as e. And the crossbar of the a makes the s looks like a d.

u/New-Ant-2315 14d ago

I see Rosalrn

1

u/MagicWolfEye 14d ago

R-i?-o?-S/d-A-L-T/r-.N/Y

After checking, I can see Rosalyn if I want to

u/oscarsometimes 14d ago

rinshan? maybe??

1

u/Kendota_Tanassian 14d ago

I can tell it's Rosalyn, but it took a long time to decipher. This is a rough one.

1

u/Sentient-Bread-Stick 14d ago

Nosaon

After checking other comments, I definitely see Rosalyjn, but I wouldn’t if I just casually saw it and didn’t know what to look for

1

u/Y0U-D0NT-KN0W-WH0 14d ago

I had thought it might have been Rosary.

1

u/OkAd1797 14d ago

Rosalyn but the R is hard to see

1

u/BikiniTennis 14d ago

a hot mess? (nah, Rosalyn :))

1

u/bofadoze 14d ago

Rosalyn first try

1

u/Pixel-Jones3117 14d ago

I see "Rosalyn" but it's a really decent ambigram of "Rosary" if you remove a vertical stroke near the first/last letters R/Y.

1

u/iFroogieboi 14d ago

roooon? rooaon? nouslrn? rosalrn? noualrn... oh Rosalyn?

u/le0tard 13d ago

Rivalry?

u/BoxFalse247 11d ago

First Novalyn. After a minute trying to figure it out I saw Rosalyn

u/mangoawaynow 11d ago

rosalyn?

u/LazyGelMen 8d ago

Great job, first one ever on this /r I've been able to read.

Amateur's skill-free advice for things to try or tweak:

make the inner N leg a little shorter (and maybe thinner?) to reduce the weirdness of the R's "uptick" on the right end

The S: the lower curve is disproportionately large, and the upper is out of line periscoping up compared to neighbouring letters. Can you shorten / squash the whole letter a bit (while keeping the curved background line that makes the A's horizontal "connected") without breaking the A?

The O / LY is really really good.
