Some symbols (or logos) are created by history. When the tragic attacks occurred on September 11, 2001 a new brand was born.

For many, "9-11" is emblazoned in our minds as THE historic moment. Not "where you were when the bomb was dropped", or "where were you when you heard that JFK was shot", but "where were you when the planes hit?"

Graphic artists have created versions of this powerful brand to help us remember, and rally around, this powerful event that shaped our lives.

Today's blog post features a poster design created after the shock of 9-11 had lessened--and unfortunately, so had the wave of unity that followed it. 'Remember' is the main message of this poster.

Remember not just the bad that happened to the victims, but the good as well. Remember the heroes that were only ordinary citizens the day before. Remember how small our petty differences were when we were forced to focus on a greater good ... a common good. Remember how we grieved as a nation and how we cherished the everyday things in a new way.

Remember?

Today is not the anniversary of 9-11. But we can still remember that day ... The symbol which history created is still before us.

The graphic appearing in this blog post was created by Christopher Pelicano, Trinity's Art Director.
