There are images that manage to stay tattooed on the human mind. Symbols because of its aesthetic power, have survived and preserved their power. Create a mystique around him capable of bringing masses, unifying ideology or even implement them. How is it possible that some strokes achieved have much impact on a human? There are cases where a few lines become icons, colors and compositions that make nations marking periods.
It's amazing how a single image does cross borders and is installed in the global consciousness. Convey a message without words. The mere presence of an image can be an entire speech.
What is really amazing is the value given to a symbol. The power leaving behind the character that created it. The images were created by a person, designed, and their origin might have a very different meaning they have today. One such case is as follows:
Gerald Holtom (1914-1985) British designer graduated from the Royal College of Art Nuclear War Resister.
Love and peace, hippie, the early 60's probably are words that come to mind when observing these lines protected by a circle. But the first time they were used did not seek world peace and free love, is manifested for Nuclear Disarmament.
I have to be honest, I never worried about who designed this icon. Designers were those friends and my current job which made me realize that credit for what has been done is very undervalued. In this consumerist world images are no exception. Where is the value of creation, creativity? In the best case, on a black background with white letters at the end of a movie or below a picture with tiny letters. Unfortunately many times the credit is zero. It is true that over time this has been changing, creative defense depends on the recognition for their work.
