Propaganda Department Logo

The diamond and the monogram

The studio signs its work in two ways. A red diamond holds the words Propaganda Dept. under a small round seal. The monogram folds a P and a D into one angular shape, set in a ring lettered Propaganda Department.

Badges and stickers

The monogram went into badges. A round red sticker reads Est. MMIX, the year the studio began. Another rings the monogram with Freedom is Slavery and the studio's web address. An eye-shaped badge sets it between Propaganda and Department, a black seal adds For creative disruption only, and a Novi Sad badge calls itself the regional bureau.

The brooch

A small run of metal brooches carried the monogram in red, inside an ornate gold frame. Each came on a card printed Propaganda Dept. and Beware of imitations, and they went at random into T-shirt orders.

Around the world

Stickers went out with the T-shirt orders, and the monogram turned up on posts, boxes and a hydrant abroad. These photographs find it by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, outside Amsterdam Centraal station and in other cities.
