For a while I’ve thought it would be pretty cool if there was a symbol for liberalism, something simple and iconic. I whipped up this:
It’s an L (for “liberal,” obviously), with an arrow facing up, symbolizing progress. It also has the added benefit of looking like an arrow taking a left turn, which correlates with liberalisms associations with that direction. Yeah, nothing spectacular, but it drives the point home.
I like it! I buy it? Lol. My thoughts: wouldn’t it be easily manipulated though by opposing folks? Like turn it on it’s side, voila?
Thanks for the comment. You don’t need to buy it, consider it public domain.
And I don’t mind what conservatives do with it, though I doubt they’d tweak it for their own uses- it is shaped like an L after all. 
I like It you’ve got a creative mind
I’m looking for a symbol for constitutional liberalism–something I can put on my Facebook page–and you’re right, there really isn’t one. There are fraught symbols like Che or Liberte/Egalite/Fraternite, but they’re not quite right. They have negatives embedded deep into them, as well, if you know your history or are prone to complicated, critical thinking…
I really like this, and I’ve posted it as my profile pic. I’d like to credit you in the caption–who do I cite?
You can just credit me as “Abyssal.”
Done. Tx.
