RE: Calling Graphic Artists: New Banner in Support of BLM/Police and Justice Reform

I freely admit that I have no answers.
I am equipped to the hilt with every graphic program and I am certain that quite a few other members are also. So for now we can park the technical aspects of how to do it. That expertise is available gratis from a bucket of members.
But it is also useless until a theme is chosen. And that is where I am stuck.
I like the kente idea. It makes a point subtly without being "in-your-face".
But OTOH we seem to have passed the barrier of subtlety. So maybe that is not enough. Maybe it is time to be "in-your-face"?
On top of that, one must consider the site, it's owners and stated purpose. And any consequences that may occur depending on the content of the banner.
I really have no answer for this. My instinct is to go subtle. But for decades, "subtle" has never worked.
