My favorite of all the logos I've created, for the Campaign to Organize Graduate Students at the University of Iowa. Also one of my favorite causes. We had to go through the process twice, as the first vote to unionize (that time with SEIU) failed by just 80-90 votes. The second time, with UE, we won, and although I couldn't benefit from the win myself, it was very gratifying to have been involved in producing the logo, the buttons, the t-shirts, and many of the fliers and other printed materials for the campaign.
