ABC3PO Episode II

For the first ABC3PO Alphabet, I challenged myself to only use characters from the 6 original films.

For this lower case sequel, I decided to broaden the scope and include any characters from the newly established official Star Wars canon (7 films, Rebels, Clone Wars). Only one character (X) doesn't fit that criteria:

I thought this was a fun little mash up. The characters just worked so well together. I’m considering a whole series.

NATO Phonetic Alphabet

I recently received a very touching email from a young man named Nicholas Machado:

Dear Mr. Boon,

My name is Nicholas Machado from Virginia.  I am 10 years old.  I like how you customize alphabets into cool designs.  So, I have a picture of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet in pictures.  When you have the list, search up pictures on Google of the letters and soon you will find how these make sense.  You inspired me to do it.  I hope you think this is awesome.

Love,

Nicholas Machado

PS Look in the "M".  There is a message for you.

I later learned from his father John that Nicholas is on the autistic spectrum and has Asperger's Syndrome. 

At first, I was greatly moved by Nicholas' sweetness, but after closely looking at his design, I am also very impressed by the inventiveness of his design. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:
Thank you for sharing Nicholas.
