The environmental campaigning organisation Greenpeace produced this poster as part of it 'Save the Arctic' campaign to highlight the negative impact of oil drilling in the Arctic. The design subverts the logo of the multinational oil company Shell by inserting a devils horn on one side and combining it with the face of a polar bear on the other. The design has been used by Greenpeace in many high profile stunts, including disrupting the 2013 F1 Grand Prix in Belgium when activists unfurled a large 'Shell-bear' banner.
