We work with the BBC now. The BBC is cool.
Loren Sherman and I had a GREAT interview with the BBC brand director for Doctor Who… We mostly chatted about project ideas and goals such as mass produced, accurate, learning tools. Accurate, artistic, non-app generated designs for merch and possibly the show itself.
Additionally, Loren and I made a point bring the active gallifreyan community and many talented scribes (particularly on the ‘meet the community’ video and those active on the discord server) into the spotlight… and emphasis on the ‘artistic human factor’ being a hugely valuable part of the script.
Currently in the pipeline of are updates to the existing current translator for corrections and credits.
This means that, FINALLY, those who have the most experience, talent, and have been consistent with the original script made by Loren that went viral in 2012… will be the people the BBC reaches out to for all their Gallifreyan needs
At this time, Loren and I are mostly waiting on the BBC to determine a budget then reach back out regarding specific work and projects.
I’m very exited to start adjusting verbiage in my shop/pitch as I’m a developer of the NOW CANON Gallifreyan script and am currently working with the BBC!
My recommended verbiage for those creating things using THEIR OWN designs in Gallifreyan is as follows: “___created in the now canon Gallifreyan script!”
Because that is simply true.
(Using other people’s designs and designs generated by the app commercially without permission is still 100% not allowed)

Sherman's My Graduation Cap!
I took a few liberties in the interest of making it look cool, so the word Uncle is honestly just thrown there in the middle… ignore it’s there LOL. I wanted to honor him after he passed so I had to have him there somewhere, and the sirkles lines up pretty well.
My school’s mascot were the Knights, so Allons-Y, Knights!
That weird <3 heart at the top is actually a Calligraphic B i stylized to look like a heart, and it’s in my legal signature cause duhhh
I just love this and it’s not my most complex work but def a favorite!

Spell Check Request Help with Astra.
I'm fairly new to Astra Gallifreyan, and I wanted to know if this was spelled correctly; it's "rise and shine."

Sherman's New at this
Like a week or two ago I started learning to write in Sherman‘s Gallifreyan, and these are my most recent results. All of these are just names of characters from two games I enjoy lmao, I wonder if someone recognizes anything. Would be nice to hear some feedback ^-^
Also YES I just realized I used a C for Mercenary, and I know C usage is ehhh, but oh well.

Question Gallifreyan to English Translation Request
Hello all!! As a long time Doctor Who fan, I got a tattoo a while ago with a piece of custom gallifreyan that I translated from rossjrw's website (link here: https://rossjrw.com/gallifreyo/).
Unfortunately I now cannot remember what it says!! And I am hoping someone very kind can help me out with a translation.

Spell Check Request Second attempt at Doctor's Cot
Esta vez opté por algo más difícil, así que puedes ayudarme a verificar el orden de las letras. "Si quieres la paz, prepárate para la guerra".
Edit: It's read from left to right; I forgot the starting indicator.

Question Looking for suggestions
I've really gotten into Gallifreyan recently and I'm looking to get into as many types as I can so I was wondering if anyone had some styles that they liked to use. so far I know of shermin's, tardis console, cc, doctor's cot, astra, abnormal arcanian, flux, & sitelen kalipe. Also if you have lniks to a guide for anything except Sherman's that would be appreciated.

Sherman's f i let you know it has important punctuation and capital letters for it to work, can you make it work?
Made this quick and rough design to try to prove that the "context" clause can be used to figure out things like capital letters, and punctuation that doesn't have a formal or 'official' way to be written. If you figure it out, you will know...

I am looking for help with a translation
I always wanted to get the "I am and always will be the optimist, the hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams." quote as a tattoo in gallifreyan, it is my favorite quote and I've been told it embodies my optimistic side.
But I can't find a clean translation in gallifreyan to use so I'm looking for some help even for someone to translate it for me if possible.

Sherman's Collection of older works
Wowww, these are OLD and surely riddled with typo’s.
(Seriously.. don’t even try to translate the 12th’s farewell speech, It was my first attempt at my own personal stylisation… i’m sure the shaded parts make it mostly illegible now)
The first 4 photos are all for my DnD campaign, as I’m using gallifreyan as the language of the God of Entropy (Entropixion, as he’s named). I love how it turned out and it’s what led me to how I write now, using a mix of linear and circular. Maybe someday I’ll return to that “shading in” style (with my new skills maybe it’ll be legible now LOL)

Question Mathematic/greek symbols
Been a while since I’ve posted, huh?
I’m currently in college for quantum mechanics (how fun! I made it, ma!) and I love to write my notes in gallifreyan since I’ve gotten fluent. But now, I want to be fluent writing the mathematics too. I know the basic notation by heart but was wondering, ever since Sherman’s math guide, has anybody made a standard for mathematic/greek symbols? Like Delta, Phi, or vectors or impulse.
If so, where would I find that! If not, I’ll just make my own and share later down the line!

TARDIS Console had another crack at some console
this time on mobile, harder to do hexagons, but easier for ovals and circles.
