Background
Mr. President is independent London-based creative industry that champions diversity and individuality in all forms. To help join in the celebrations of people being able to be themselves without question or judgement, the agency team wanted to showcase four incredible people from the LGBT community (one from each) that inspire them.
Idea
In honour of Pride in London, London-based independent creative agency Mr. President is celebrating four icons of the LGBT community. The "Patrons of Pride" campaign honours Ellen DeGeneres, George Michael, Nicola Adams, and Laverne Cox, as modern icons of tolerance, love, and acceptance, featuring each in a bold illustration in the style of stained glass windows. The Patrons of Pride illustrations are affixed to the agency's windows on the corner of Soho Square, one of the official locations of Pride in London on Saturday, 8 July.
