Visual essay full of abstract feminine logos

October 22, 2021 8:49 AM

I'm trying to re-discover a 'visual essay' I saw years ago, on an internet forum. The body of it was hundreds of logo images, for things like women's health clinics, feminist non-profits and think tanks, charities aimed at women, and so on.

There was little introduction. The common thread in the imagery is that they all looked kinda like this. The effect of seeing hundreds and hundreds of these all in one place was powerful. Because there were so few words, the intended lesson was ambiguous to me, which I enjoyed. I think it was a criticism, and a thorough one, but I'm not sure which ways it was cutting. Anyway, I can't find it! I think it was a post on a older 'web 1.0' 2000's-style forum, but I could be wrong about that.

I'm pretty sure there was a "Target: Women" video on this from years ago...however, most links to the videos are now directing to a bank that took over the Current domain. There are a few on YouTube but not the one I'm thinking of. Maybe someone else here knows where to find them or knows which one I'm thinking of.

Best answer: Here you go — it was published on the blog Art F City in 2010.
