Meet this year's badge designer

My name is Robbie, a Graphic Design student from London College of Communication specialising in Advertising. My course concentrates on social, political and ethical design, and forces me to think in orthodox manners to push the boundaries of Advertising. I have a strong passion and belief in ultilising techniques used in commercial sectors to help those in charities, and non profit organisations and create innovative social design strategies. Most of all I enjoy producing contemporary and relevant work that challenges the preconceptions of advertising - Some say advertising is dead, I say long live advertising!

The London Olympics 2012 makes sport an obvious choice and an unmissableopportunity to beat the enduring homo/transphobia that is common to many sports; on the field, in the changing rooms, on the terraces and in media reporting.

To make a success of this campaign, LGBT History Month is working in partnership with the UK's LGBT sports development & equity organisation, Pride Sports.

We have already held our first meeting to organise the National pre-launches for 2011 with the equalities officers of theleadingNational Governing Bodies of sports, including football, cricket, rugby unionand rugbyleague, as well as leading activists in the UK's LGBT sports' community.

The History Month T-shirts are available here and new badges will be available for sale very soon. Stay tuned for details.
