Greenpeace UK is running a contest for individuals to “rerand” BP in light of the oil spill.
I certainly agree that BP is at fault for the explosion, etc. but it just seems to me what was being lost in this contest was the lack of government response. Let’s face it, the accident occurred in federal waters, yet Obama has chosen to play golf and go on vacation rather than participate in solving the problem.
So, I decided to make my own entry, that reflects the dual culpability of BP and the Obama administration:
I added the “hopeless” here for emphasis. As you can see, it is a combination of the Obama logo (changing the red striped “hills” into blue striped “water” and putting two slicks of oil between them. BP’s logo, colored yellow, makes the sun on the horizon.
What I would love to find out, is will they post this on their flickr page as an entry when they load today’s entries on it?
If you like the logo, you can get some merch with it printed on it here.
