pride button concepts
not guaranteeing anything, but…
(the general design language will be applied to different hazard symbols and pride flags)
(from left to right) which one do like most?
white background, flag symbol
black background, flag symbol
flag background, black symbol
flag background, white symbol
...and what size? (all are the same price)
1.5 in
2.25 in
3 in
okay now if you HAD to choose between these two
white
black
here are my current ideas:
(the colors definitely need a lot of tweaking so ignore them for now)
feel free to give me your suggestions btw
maybe they should all have hands or figures in them? and each year I could pick a different theme?
what about all hands?
...and one with all bodies
all hands, all bodies, or no theme?
all hands
all bodies
no theme
I don't know if anybody knew this, but as a tattoo artist I will tell you.
During the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and early 1990s, men who had contracted HIV would have the biohazard symbol tattooed prominently (usually on a forearm) to warn potential sexual partners of infection.
This also served as a green light to other infected people that raw encounters were possible, since once infected, one couldn't get RE-infected by a different partner. Might as well enjoy the life you have left, right?
Anyway I think that's an important anecdote and a tiny piece of history.
Yes! I did know this!
That’s why I’m on the fence about using it here— There’s something I really like about the history, but I’m not sure if it’s something appropriate to reference here
