  Top Graphic Designs for #BlackLivesMatter

  Here is a small tribute from the team at logodesign.net, in honor of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others who have lost lives at the hands of police brutality and systematic racism. As a graphic design company, we bring to you a selection of designs, arts, and moments from the revolution that Floyd’s murder has sparked. Some of it is healing, some of it challenging, while there may be some that are downright rough. But as socially-focused graphic designer Greg Bunbury puts it, “If I can put three words and make people visibly uncomfortable then I’m doing my job”.
