A friend asked me to create an arrow based avatar for Elizabeth Warren [View all]

Now, let me preface this by saying, I abhor sterile corporate logos, always have, likely always will. I was perfectly happy as a Democrat with a party mascot (the donkey) and never felt the need to impose a corporate style logo as a replacement for a party mascot. Times change, corporations have been given life by the Frankensteins of our emerging plutocracy and so the circle D corporate logo was born and our beloved mascot replaced.

So my first thought was to sketch this, because it means something to me (I am no graphic artist, but even crappy artists that like to dabble take their scribbles seriously), the arrow is pointing forward down a road (that veers slightly left) towards a new day represented by a symbol of dawn, this is the type of symbol that difficult woman represents to me as an emerging leader in my party.


Now this is over-sized for an avatar on this site, so I re-sized it accordingly, but I made a couple others as I realize not everyone is into rich symbolism and Hills logo appeals to people so I made a couple of options responding to such realities. My friend and others can choose any or none as they like, or decide to form a consensus on one to show solidarity in support of a very difficult yet beloved individual.
