[Merch] WHYF?

[rowan8k]

Hey Dany!

Thank you for the feedback!

We considered whether to include "for" or not when we started designing and ended up deciding to include it together with our design team and projectleiding.
We did specifically put "for" smaller and vertically to make it stand out less as it is not part of the acronym/name.

Someone else also gave this feedback so you're not the only one, but unfortunately it is too late for us to change it as well as orders have started so it would require cancelling all the orders and asking people to order again, which is not something our team has the capacity for unfortunately.


Best,

Rowan

But on the merch designs it looks off to me, as I tend to read it as WHYF (and mentally pronounce it the same as *wife*), instead of WHY. And it's now something I cannot unsee unfortunately.
