May 4th 1970. Kent State University. Kent, Ohio. 

Known as the Kent State Massacre. A line of Ohio National Guardsmen fired 67 rounds for 13 solid seconds at unarmed students protesting the Vietnam War. The event was heard world wide, inspired more protests, inspired songs (like “Ohio” by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young), changed Nixon’s presidency and is always recognized and honored at Kent State University.

Recently Kent State honored the 40th year since the tragedy. I, and a few other Kent State VCD Alumni were selected to design a logo for a benefit concert back in October. The date passed and the event appears to have been postponed, so no logo was selected. I made this at the Type High Press in the KSU Art Building as one of my 4 proposed logos.
