This was the first attempt.
I wanted to unify Britain using our national symbol, the umbrella (also used in our Olympics display) and appeal to the dry parody of British misery from being rained on.
The rain is of course hatred, and I wanted the typeface (deftones - music), to look quite appealing.
The Headline "Live in Harmony" is also connected to this are the umbrella handles, made to look like sheet music notes.
The colour scheme of course speaks for itself, as the unified 'multi-colour / culture' with the grey and unappealing white head of characatured 'Nick Griffin' apparition overhead.
Main Problem with this piece: It has no political bite. Too 'stand-offish', and obvious that I have not had much direct experience with racism. Too much of an academic angle.
