We’ve been seeking an image—a badge, a banner, a marker, an emblem—a singular symbol that says at a glance “no surrender, no cooperation, no compromise with that fascist son of a bitch.” A icon of our community's resistance to the regime, and an emblem of commitment to a diverse, progressive future.
Something that says we will not go quietly into the night, we will not vanish without a fight, we're going to live on … but with Donald Trump instead of space aliens.
It should be an image that works on a tiny lapel button, or a giant waving flag. Clean enough to look sharp on a plain white T-shirt, but weighty enough to draw a cheer when hoisted on a banner.
Community member and Artist Brian Zick (who did the fantastic cover art for On Whetsday) has constructed some possible options, but we need you to say which of these images hits closest to how you feel. Which one speaks to you? Which one speaks for you? Which one would you proudly wear when you’re marching on Washington or just heckling Hannity?
Brian has put together other forms, like a double flag or angled wing, and other versions of the groundhog-haired menace, like the South-Parky versions in row 3. So if the images at the top of the article don’t do it for you, take a look at these and imagine how you might mix and match the pieces to create an image so resistant that even Kellyanne Conway would have to stop and think about it.
