For my 2006 sticker design I thought of the most two sided symbol I could think of. The Yin Yang represents two sides of thing. Making one side the hope, and the other side the fear, I integrated the burning man logo into the existing symbol. I wanted to create a perfectly balanced design without being obvious. The text can't be read without turning it over. So if you start reading on the fear side, you have to flip it over to the hope side to read it. This creates a fuzzyness in the line between hope and fear. Receivers of this sticker will have to decide which direction they stick it. Or they can choose to simply make the year read correctly, and leave hope and fear in perfect balance.
My sticker design for Burning Man 2005. Obviously it is a play on the London Underground logo, which is famous for it's "Mind the Gap" signs. I used the term of mind as a pun along with the theme word of psyche, and added a basic BM logo behind with a brain for a head.
