Description: This Retro Punk Anarchy design harks back to the early 1980s when there was a revolution in both music and culture, and boundaries were pushed to the absolute limit. The design relights the punk heritage of revolution and is a reflection on modern society and how everything is either falling apart or not working as well as we remembered. It also hints that it is our collective responsibility to fix the mess, as we can't always rely on Governments to do it all for us. We have to collectively take responsibility for our present and future, and as a whole we can effect change.
