Brand logos are very easily recognizable and easy to spot. So it's quite smart to use them to send a message or tweak them a little bit to represent something else. That's exactly what Lydia Cambron, a New York designer, did.

Lydia used her skills in art to transform famous logos into messages of protest. The messages support Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ+ community. With this protest, Lydia wants to show her disagreement with police brutality, injustice, homophobia, racism, and other horrible things affecting not only America but the whole world.

Thank you! I use they/them pronouns. I think it is best to use they/them pronouns when you don't know. Thank you so much!

I call males "he/him" and females "she/her". Those are the proper pronouns.

    What if we took the money that we used for police, and put it into communities who need it so we don't need police anymore? Hence the saying "defund the police"

    This is what we need to do. We should not tear our current law enforcement down to the foundations - we need to build a new foundation and build our new policing system on it. A nice thought, Onyx - but we'll always need somebody to enforce the law.

    i can't bring myself to agree with this. yes, police brutality is a thing, and yes, directed police violence exists, but cops also protect us and do quite a bit for the safety of the world. generalizations are what brought us to this point, and making new ones isn't going to do anything.
