The Ideas Behind the Logo

It is unfortunate that the “international symbol of access” is a wheelchair symbol that only represents one type of disability. It dates back many decades when accessibility focused only on building structures (architectural barriers). Another symbol, the “universal accessibility icon”, is used on many websites. It has the opposite problem. It is too generic. That is the icon that looks like a person doing jumping jacks inside a circle. What does that icon mean? The website is made for humans instead of dogs? I went about trying to make a better icon for accessibility. I first tried to make one that represents all the types of disabilities, but even with broad categories such as sensory, musculoskeletal, neurological, and psychological, there are still many more debilitating health conditions. The truth is, most disabilities are hidden when you first look at someone. Thus, I ended up with an icon that had three generic looking people holding hands that represents “inclusion of people with all types of disabilities”. Accessibility is really about removing barriers to activities and places, such as having captioning for meetings, ramps instead of only stairs, and Braille print being available for printed materials. To represent “removing barriers”, I have an arrow being perspective to look like it is aiming away from the viewer, towards a barrier that is split in two by the arrow, forming an opening for access.

The 3D Build of the Logo

The complete set is made with 1603 pieces. Thanks to BrickLink Studio, I was able to find many pieces that I did not have and helped me to be encouraged. I made the logo tactile with raised features, so it can be felt as well as being seen. The upper body of the person figures align neatly with the surface of the arrow and barricade.

It broke apart several times while taking it around my community. I had to thoroughly reinforce it with Technic bricks and connectors.

The plaque can hang on a wall, or set on the included stand. The stand can be folded for traveling by pulling two red pins. Since it is made of LEGO® pieces, I made alternate figures that represent some disabilities. So, I made a wheelchair user, a blind person with a cane and dark glasses, and a person with a prosthetic leg. I also made a small cottage representing accessible housing. Since disabilities affect many parts of people’s lives, finding a suitable place to live becomes an even bigger issue. Of course, there is more to making housing accessible than just handrails and ramps. But, tt was all I could think of to fit into this size. All figures can be positioned in any of three spots on the plaque. All figures (except the cottage) can move their arms and legs which are held with locking hinges.

Thank you for your time to read and consider this idea.
