I didn’t know this was from Gordon College design!
“It’s such a forward-moving thing,” said Victor Calise, commissioner of the New York mayor’s Office for People With Disabilities (update name?!). New York City has agreed to start using a more active logo designed by activists at Gordon College in Wenham, on the north shore of Massachusetts. “The movement initially started when the group behind the new logo started placing its stickers over old handicapped signs around the Gordon College campus, and eventually stickers of the final design were distributed throughout nearby Boston.”
LOVE IT!

I agree, Mary,I love this one, too. There have been many in the past few years that communicate motion. Another good one just leans the icon.

Parking in handicapped parking is a Zero Tolerance and hefty fine by most police traffic units – and ticket you cannot talk your way out of. Well I was only going into the store for 5 or ten minutes. Consideration!

Thank you so much for adding in Holly and sharing the links! Dr. Brian Glenney is a philosophy professor at the school and he collaborated with artist, Sarah Hendren. This logo is now trademarked and donated to the disabilities advocacy group Triangle, Inc.
