Weekend Onesie:
The Red Cross
Part I
People who check in on this blog on a regular basis know that I am a huge fan of graphics. Some of the finest? From various government agencies and non-profit organizations around the world. I adore their big, broad use of color and presentation of iconic ideals, characters and images.
Non-Profit and Government agencies are responsible for any number of initiatives - suggestions brought home to the people by use of posters. Today, we'll take a brief look at the various campaigns to ensure vital life services are provided to those in need during wartime. This was a matter of great importance in order to ensure military success, as it was a case of all hands on deck to obtain the necessary personnel and funds. To facilitate that success, governments and non-profits got their messages out, boldly, colorfully and patriotically via brilliant posters - no one more brilliantly than the Red Cross.
Today's focus: The Red Cross symbol as a tool of branding.
Simple and direct...
These graphics have become iconic.
And part of history.
