Eclectic Vehicles

A plug for a face, uranium written in the mouth, and a blue banner of coal and gas under the word renewable — the vehicles mixed, the power not.

A white field with a dark blue painted edge, two radiating black eyes at the top, an orange-smeared mouth with uranium written in white, a large blue two-prong plug as a nose, a row of stick figures on a zigzag line, and a blue banner at the bottom lettered RENEWABLE POWER over coal, gas, oil, kerosene, burning.

Two radiating eyes, a smear of orange for a mouth, and a two-prong plug standing in as the nose — a face assembled from the things that feed it. Across the mouth, in white, uranium. Along the bottom, on a blue bar, the slogan and the inventory it is standing on.

Renewable power. Coal, gas, oil, kerosene, burning.

A line of stick figures walks the horizon between plug and banner, small enough to be the grid or the crowd. The title’s eclectic is the mix of fuels; the face is what that mix looks like when you give it eyes.
