BP’s LOGO
In response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Greenpeace was calling on all designers to create a logo for BP to show the company that it is not “beyond petroleum.” They’re up to their necks in a toxic sludge that has become the worst oil spill in U.S. history. This is one of those possible ways – not only for designers I thought – to speak up to the society. So I created this work. Now you can vote for the new face of BP. – See more:
