Different Geeky Takes On The Iconic Obama 'Hope' Poster


From geekology, Remember the iconic 'Hope' posters used during Obama's presidential campaign? Ha, how could you forget, they're burnt into your retinas the way -- HEY LOOK AT THIS! -- my genitals now are. Well the website obamicon.me has been kicking it for a while, allowing any Tom, Dick, or Jane to make their own inspirational poster and message using a photo they upload. So go make one. Then post a link to it in the comments. But more importantly, hit the jump for a gallery of posters that are way cooler than the one you were going to make. Unless, of course, you were going to make one with a picture of me that says 'DOPE', in which case, yes, I am pretty fly.

is it against any kind of copyright infringement to send an obamiconned picture to cafe press? will they make it?

Actually, that whole thing is in litigation right now! What are the rules at Cafe Press, can you use any image?

Nice find. About the copyright issue, I believe the creator of the original image is getting sued because he used a AP photo as the basis of this artwork, so Cafepress will print it, as long as the image you use isn't copyrighted.
