]]> yellow and black immigration crossing sign with 3 running families in silhouetteIllegal immigration is such a hot political issue and I wanted to create a design with that in mind. I find it amusing that there are caution signs with silhouettes of illegal aliens running. No one outside of California would believe that people running across the border is such a big problem. That sign inspired me to create a parody version of my own. On a quick side note, I understand the concerns with illegals coming into the country, but I think a lot of people forget that their forefathers migrated from much farther away. INS truly strikes fear in the hearts of all immigrants who have not earned their citizenship yet.

I kept that classic caution sign diamond shape with the yellow background and black details. The headline was replaced with the word ‘immigration’. I added 2 more running families to play off the border crossing symbol. The design was quickly added to my Zazzle Immigration Crossing wall. I followed that up by added it to my domain (follow the picture link above).

]]> Silver caduceus medical symbol with 2 serpents wrapping around a winged staffThe health care debate has been going on for what seems like an eternity. I don’t know all the details of whatever bill is in the congress or the senate, but I at least know that a change is needed. It definitely would be a nice bonus to stick it to some of the corrupt health insurance companies (or are they all corrupt?).

I wanted a political design that was centered around the health care debate, but I didn’t want some corny slogan or saying. The caduceus medical symbol was a great place to start. It’s not the traditional medical symbol (see the rod of Asclepius for that), but it has become widely excepted and I like it for this situation. It’s interesting to think that those 2 serpents (or snakes for modern sake) wrapping around the staff with wings atop came to represent medicine

This design is a more 3 dimension version of the classic design. Silver looked much better to me than gold or white, so I went with that. I gave it a little more of a bevel to make it pop out a little extra. My logo wraps nicely around with the serpent. I went through all the internet magic to get it all set up in my store and I also added it to the Silver Medical Symbol section of my secondary store.

]]> Yellow radiation symbol with beveled look and black outlineDuring my Physics years in college, I became very familiar with the variations of the radiation symbol. The fission and fusion of atoms was always a big part of the various science courses that I had to take. The radioactivity warnings always stuck out, because I learned that you could be literally cooked from inside by decaying particles from radioactive elements.

I’m sure that most people would agree that nuclear war is high on the list of fears. Many popular movies center around the danger of terrorists getting a hold of a nuke. The atom bomb is the most dangerous technology ever created by man. This warning sign design passes on that intimidation. I never got too deep into the atomic sciences, but I had to give a nod to this symbol of danger.

I took the basic form of the radiation sign and gave it a beveled appearance. Yellow was chosen with caution in mind. Black was used to outline the entire symbol to make it pop in any color. Finally, I integrated the brand into the very bottom in a subtle way.
