Damn, IвЂ™m going to have to track those sketches down now.

I may have the other sketches, too, they were all in the same notebook I just remember the first sketch the best because the profile came out so well and the barbed wire wove perfectly from her hair. I liked the first sketch the best and still have it somewhere in my college art file (not for the logo design but for the fine art aspect of it). The ideas never went beyond the sketches. I figured you could interpret an вЂњIвЂќ as the womanвЂ™s profile, in the wire around the dove and the candle itself. I tried to make the barbed wire make an вЂњAвЂќ in all three sketches. I came up with three sketches based on his ideas (I didnвЂ™t know what Amnesty International was at the time): barbed wire around an African womanвЂ™s face, barbed wire around the dove of peace and barbed wire around a candle. Artist found it better to light a candleД«ack in college, 1990 there bouts, a friend of mine wanted to start an Amnesty International club on campus and he asked me to design the logo for it.Diana Rehouse obituary, in The Guardian.The logo was refined in 2000 by Simon Endres, formerly of Kirshenbaum Bond, and now half of Pro-Am, Inc in New York. The candle represents Amnesty InternationalКјs commitment to remember that political prisoners are being held all over the world and AIКјs commitment to bring the prisoners hope for their fair treatment and eventual release. They are imprisoned for unfair reasons, most likely because they said or did something that seemingly threatened the power and authority of the Government to control the actions and thoughts of its citizens. The barbed wire represents вЂњthe darknessвЂќ (hopelessness) of people put in jail where they think nobody remembers they are there. The logo combines two recognisable images inspired by the Chinese proverb, вЂњBetter to light a candle than curse the darkness.вЂќ In 1963, the Amnesty founder wrote to Diana to say that her design, a candle in barbed wire, had been chosen for AmnestyвЂ™s first ever Christmas card because of its simplicity and the effectiveness of its symbolism. She trained at Central St Martins College of Art and Design in London before working as a graphic designer, and was inspired to found the Hampstead branch of Amnesty after reading an article by the charityвЂ™s founder, Peter Benenson. During the second world war, Diana had been conscripted to work in the UK GovernmentвЂ™s drawing office. The designer was the late Diana Redhouse, who died in October 2007, aged 84.
