Here, for your free use however you wish, are various sizes of my newly-assembled, Internationally-recognized "No Tebowing" symbol (also called "Interdit Tebow"). Each sign is created with transparent areas between the parts of the symbol, to be able to fit cleanly over varying backgrounds.

Use wisely!:

Gotta watch the anti-aliasing on images intended to have transparent areas, Mooner. You can even see it in the white jaggies where the red cross-bar covers the blue figure.

Evidently, I rock!
Why not question something for a change?

Yeah, I know, damnit. It's not really anti-aliasing that I added, though, but almost-white from the original anti-aliasing, left over after selecting. Any suggestions for easily getting rid of that in the future? I used to do that pixel-by-pixel, but I'm simply too old and cranky for that bullshit now.

Well, where did the original circle-bar come from? If it was someone else's image, then you should be able to find one without the anti-aliasing. If you made it yourself, you can turn anti-aliasing off while drawing.

I indeed stole it. I will make replacements soon, doing as you suggest. And thanks! Was too tired to figure that out.

Thank you truly for calling me on what was a sloppy job, Dave. I mean it. These replacement No Tebow Symbols now in the OP look much better!

Here's one on the light-blue background of this post:


Clean!

How about against the quote background, as above? Looks good. I think the hint of white I see around the outside of the circle is an optical illusion.

How about the big one, below?
Looks good. Now go fix your As.

Fixing the A's is a bigger problem. All the ones I've seen have that anti-aliasing problem built-in. And I can't just go and buy the font the A comes in, which is the best way to do it. That font, Zapfino One, is a professional one from a type foundry. It costs €54 at the Linotype site. All that for one letter?
