Customizable Hammer & Sickle Posters (Patreon)

Ya'll, designing this poster was tough. It started off as a straightforward idea — a visual catalogue of regional variations on the hammer and sickle. It started getting complicated when I decided to leave off the hammer and sickle for Cambodia, which was appropriated by the fascist Khmer Rogue party. And because I edited that one out, where do I stop? To some degree, many of these symbols have been misappropriated and misused over the course of their long history, and several of today's parties have become reactionary, particularly in the settler colonial states.

I asked many of you for your thoughts, and boy that was wild. I learned a lot. I tried my best to make the right choices.

So here's the deal: you, lovely patron comrades, can request changes to this poster! Swap out a symbol, remove symbols, show all the historical iterations of a party, and so on. Just don't ask me to do something problematic because I will have to refuse.

Either leave a comment below or send a DM with what you'd like to see, and I'll send you the customized poster as a high quality printable PDF. (I can also mail them to you, but you'll have to purchase the physical print from earthliberationstudio.com) Make sure to let me know if you want US 11"x17 or International A3 paper.

Also included is the non-customized poster, sized at US Tabloid and International A3.
