Ignite Portland 2 -A History of the Stick Figure - Eric Lewallen

Back


You see him everywhere - hanging around bathrooms, loitering at construction sites, and perpetually crossing the street. The ubiquitous stick figure. That little, iconic, round-headed fellow on signs that makes us think twice before taking the wrong door, or helps us so we don't really need to think at all. But where did he come from? We'll take a look at the origins of the stick figure from post-WWI Vienna to his current status as a cultural icon. It's a fascinating tale of war, industry, society, and the development of a visual symbol that has evolved to represent all of us.
