Something that I have not posted here before.
Everybody's sharing content about 'Black Lives Matter' and I decided to create something related but realized that it is going to be more than just that.
Recently, some people from lower caste (yes, we still do have a caste system) were murdered, here (Nepal), because one of them happened to love a girl from upper caste (read here).
Also, another news from India says a pregnant elephant was killed because she was given pineapple filled with firecrackers (read here).
So, my initial project ended up being much more.
EVERY LIFE MATTERS.
But I did some research regarding 'All lives matter' and found out that it's a slogan that has come to be associated with criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement.
My intention is not, in any means, to disrespect any community but hope to include us whole as a human and living things.
This is just a self project and I would love to know what you people have to say.

Initial idea:
I did not make heart perfect and the leaves aren't aligned exactly in hope to give it a sense of 'something is going on' instead of making it seen as rigid symbol.
The dot in the middle was added to make it look complete (I showed different versions to one of my designer friends and he said that point).
Final Result:
I made the leaves take a form of 'hands protecting a heart' and repeated all four corners to make it look like a flower (but I think it looks like a lot going on there).
I made some mockups to present how the symbol might look in real life.
I would really love to know what you guys think and know the improvements that can be made.
Thank you.
Stay safe. Take care.
