About the Design

This design showcases eighty-six tally marks arranged in a grid pattern. Each set of four vertical lines crossed by a diagonal line represents a count of five, a universally recognized method of keeping track.

The stark, monochromatic presentation highlights the simplicity and directness of the counting system, making it visually striking.

What the Phrase Means

The primary meaning of the design relates to the act of counting, often used to track progress, days, or occurrences over time. It can represent patience, a goal, or a long-awaited event.

Additionally, the number '86' holds a specific slang meaning, especially in the restaurant and bar industry, where to '86' something means to get rid of it, run out of an item, or remove a person from the premises. This adds a layer of dry, insider humor to the design.
