I really put quite a bit of effort into these graphics. I spend a lot of time obsessing about which colors and fonts to use, and try to make them adaptable for everyone. If you would like any Dida-isms in a particular color or type, contact me and we can discuss it. I want people to be able to use them wherever they are needed.
