Hello World,

You may have seen the LW holiday themed logos we have used for Halloween and Thanksgiving. LW’s users represent many countries around the world and we want to celebrate holidays and other special days that are local to you, but our team is fairly small and we aren’t aware of a lot of the local customs out there. So we’re asking you what you would like to see represented in a LW themed logo. What are some holidays/special days in your area and how do you celebrate them? And not just major holidays, we would like to celebrate festivals, days of remembrance, and other special days.

Please, comment below your suggestions and ideas on how we could represent them in the LW logo.

EDIT: Mostly looking for events throughout the year. What’s left of 2023 is already in work. Thanks!

    In honor of !fuckcars, the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is the 3rd Sunday in November. Every year, approximately 1.3 million people (and untold numbers of pets and wildlife) are killed in traffic crashes.

    How to visualize on the logo (two ways):

    1. Crass but clear: tire tracks across a x.x face
    2. Respectful but subtle: a bicycle helmet, a tear, and a vigil candle (bicycle riders are disproportionately victims of traffic violence, so the WDoR is often organized by bicycle clubs or traffic safety groups with a bicycle focus, plus there’s no way to visually represent the other disproportionately-affected group: pedestrians).
