Public Service Announcement: Recycling

http://www.beckybones.com/Play/DownloadCharacterArt/tabid/75/Default.aspx

I found this simple image for recycling and I liked it for that reason, simplicity.  We have all been exposed to the green curved triangle arrows for several years now and are used to seeing them, everyone knows their meaning.  They have become so familiar they can be simple silhouettes and we still understand, thus it seems a designer might find it difficult to make this design fresh and interesting. The bright pink and playful metal, plastic and glass images give a new interest, especially for a younger generation. It seems the triangle is so commonplace these days that it can be ignored, as common as a street sign and just about as interesting.  This brighter and more fun version is something that attracts more attention and is just plan cute.  The site it cam from is called Becky Bones and you can put the various logos on t-shirts and order them right there on the site.
