Scribe Icon T-Shirt

The design of the skull and crossbones originated in the Late Middle Ages as a symbol of death and especially as a memento mori on tombstones.

The basic idea of memento mori philosophy is that if people remember their inescapable deaths, they will lead more sober lives, live in the present, and take advantage of opportunities rather than postponing them until “tomorrow.”

The Scribe Icon is a play on the traditional skull and crossbones symbol where the crossbones are replaced with an artist’s brush and calligraphy pen, two of the basic tools used by the Scribes of biblical times. The brush represents our tattoo-inspired designs that support this philosophy and the pen represents the back story to each design.

The memento mori philosophy is at the heart of Scribe Clothing Company’s mission.
