The Red Tulip

[kristiann]

What do people think of the red tulip sign for Parkinson's? Do people actually wear red tulips to show support for the cause? Any thoughts from anyone here about a better cause icon? Maybe a Fox? Although I suppose it is hard to wear. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks.

The red tulip is traditionally the symbol for PD. A local young onset form Washington State designed one that we hope becomes the national symbol.

thanks Jean! I am an advertising student (based in New Zealand) looking at how I can get more awareness around Parkinson's. So am trying my best to understand more about it, key insights, views, day in the life experiences etc, so that I can come up with the most creative and effective campaign. If you (or anyone else) have any thoughts on what resources would be most useful....that would be awesome. Many thanks!!!!
