About this design
COBRAS OF COURAGE
Created by Mr Rocks on Jun 04, 2012
For this challenge I wanted to make a design for the kids effected by this cruel disease, and their families, they represented them as a strong unit. Like a motor cycle club (think Sons of Anarchy) where strength and courage are key foundations.
I also wanted it to be a design that anyone could wear, without visually representing the disease itself.
After battling with ideas, animals, and colours, here you have it... COBRAS OF COURAGE. The 2 snakes lead to the idea of a heart in the middle, and the Latin in it reads 'COURAGE OVERCOMES EVERYTHING.'
I also struggled with colour, but the positive red came through in the end. I have included in my last slide my original (albeit too 'tough') black colour variant. But I do love the red now. :)
Wish me luck.

Terrific concept, really proactive, nothing wishy washy about it. It'd be like wearing a suit of armour.
And of course, fantastic design and art from you as ever, you talented bastard ;)
