hillary—just my type
During the 2016 US presidential election campaign, Hillary Clinton’s team launched The Forty-Five Pin Project. Within it, several well-known designers—including Pentagram Partner Michael Bierut, Paula Scher, and Gail Anderson—lent their skills to create badges in support of Clinton. Rather than stick to simple campaign messages the badges offered a little more latitude, allowing each contributor to create designs that embody why they support Hillary.
