I noticed in a lot of the submissions that use letters, they use the capital X / R / P letters. After taking a look at the world wide currency symbols, I got an inspiration to go very simple and go with a lower case 'r' with a slant at the top of the longest part of the 'r'.

My argument for this is:

I was mostly inspired off the following symbols:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florin_sign https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee_sign

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_symbol

What this doesn't address is the actual specs of the 'r'.

I'm arguing against the use of the letter X in designing the symbol because that's the ISO 4217 notation for an "X currency".

'r' is Ripple.
