Symbols have always been integral to political movements. Social media has perhaps made them more so (take the the clenched fist most closely associated with the Resistance, for instance).
Currently, you might have noticed a relatively new symbol in your social-media feeds, borne up by the reaction to President Donald Trumps handling of last weekends deadly Charlottesville, Virginia white-supremacist rally: the number 45 rendered as swastika behind the international symbol for no.
Mike Mitchell, the creator of the image often forwarded by those advocating for the impeachment of Trump, designed the image in February after determining he wanted to stain the number Trump holds so dear. I knew I wanted to take on 45, a number he was clearly proud of as he put it on his dumb red USA hat, Mitchell told Co.Design. I definitely wanted to try and tarnish it.
