STAND 4 LOVE 2013 OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
In June 2012, the Stand4Love
Campaign, headed by RicoRacer Flux-Clarity & Editorial Clarity-Flux,
launched to raise awareness and show support of marriage equality.
The campaign had a tremendous
amount of support and backing from people in Second Life. We had over
700 images of support telling us why they stand for love submitted to us
and placed on our Flickr and in the blog. We had content creators of
all kinds make unique items from T-Shirts to Pose Sets, from Support
badges to pillows! We had amazing bloggers and photographers taking part
and helping to advertise the campaign across the grid and the web. All
this support made the campaign an amazing success and it something we
plan to repeat, if not BETTER this year!
Starting from today, we shall make
public the 2013 official logos (located at the top and bottom of the
PR) for the Stand4Love Campaign, created by Anthony Audran. We have 2
variations, a Black and White version for you to use. You can begin
taking your pictures as soon as the logos are made public, however
please do not send them before JUNE 1ST. Below, are the official
