Blog Entry #6: Logo Parodies that speak the truth

By Greenpeace UK

1. In this logo they used the principle of emphasis to make the hand and logo stand out. This logo also includes the principle of contrast through the colours they chose - black, white, green, and yellow - as well as the position of the hand and logo. Another principle of design used in this logo is movement. The dripping of the oil on the hand and wavy ocean in the background show movement. An element of design used in this logo is size. The hand takes up most of the logo while the rest of it only covers a smaller portion of whole logo to emphasize their message.
2. They used the black hand with the company logo in the middle along with an oil rig station on the thumb of the hand. This provokes the image of death and pollution. The graphic artist used such imagery to stress the importance of this event and the effects on the enviroment. The dripping, black hand is used to represent the message to say stop the pollution and/or death is in the hands of BP. In addition, the company logo is in the centre of the hand which indicates that the company is in the centre of this catastrophe.
3. This logo says that BP's corporate identity is tarnished and that the company has been negligent in their responsibilities to the environment. It also says that death is in their hands.
