Perfect. Did the creator CC it? Is there an SVG?

Love the hue of yellow. Looks like old man's piss.

edit: at least I found the original on xcancel

That image still doesn’t seem to be a vector.

I love this, so I took a moment and recreated it as a vector image. Here it is if anyone wants it for printing or whatever. I squared the edges so it's more versatile, too. (Sorry for the google links, I know it's ironic and not ideal. The previews look weird, but the files will download fine.)

I think it should be purple. Historically, that was the color of the royalty and the wealthy

Yellow/Gold is historically the colour representing liberalism (as in capitalism), which has a solid history of ending royal monarchies.

Honestly I think the flag of USA kinda represents capitalism itself. Or the dollar sign

Does yellow say something?

The combination of yellow white and black is the colour scheme of the Russian Empire

It represents trickle-down.

The Golden Shower of wealth if you will.

A bukkake of freedom and choices.

If your bukkake is that color, you should seek medical assistance.

I have no words for how much I hate this

That's one of the reasons I hate it so much lol

I suppose it's meant to represent the colour of gold

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago

Trump's gold card...

Hmm. This is a good start. I feel like it needs to better express the feeling of being a squishy human, being ground up in the relentless and uncompromising gears of the machine. Maybe throw some gears lubricated with blood on that badboy...

License? Not sure the pictogram is licensed, the rest is just a yellow background … I have no personal stakes here.

Adding a second “dollar sign” with a hand getting crushed works I think.

Very nice, I think I might make a sticker of this. If you don’t mind.

Go for it! Not sure the pictogram is licensed, the rest is just a yellow background ... I have no personal stakes here.

There's a version with blood further up.
