In New York, people noticed something strange about the mark for the disabled. The original sign for the disabled shows a stick man sitting straight on a wheelchair. This sign is the international standard sign chosen by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and is used by a majority of countries. It was first introduced in 1968 and has been used for over 50 years. People would just pass by this mark without raising objection. However, Sara Hendren, a designer living in New York, thought differently. She said that, “The person on the wheelchair looked stiff, firm and passive. The sign reminded me of a person who is not capable of moving without someone else’s help.” Sara wanted to change these stereotypes about the disabled. She started to devise a project with Professor Brian at Gordon University. First, Sara Hendren started to change the design of the icon. While the existing mark showed a weak and passive image, the new design gives an impression of a person who is trying hard to go forward by pushing one’s wheelchair by oneself. The wheels also changed to be more active and dynamic. After designing the new icon, Sara and her peers started to put the new icon all over New York City. This ambitious project is ‘The Accessible Icon Project’. At first, the public officials regulated that the project was an act of vandalism. ISO as well was not pleased with this project by saying, “It made all the disabled look like sport players.” However, the New York citizens welcomed this meaningful project. In short time, some citizens started to help out Sara with putting the sticker that has the new design. This project was definitely a challenge to convention and it was change which was not noticed by anyone. Some people were skeptical about this project saying that these small actions will not make a big change. But Sara Hendren and New York citizens believed that these tiny changes will someday change the world. Now New York City uses the new icon with an active man on a wheelchair. We can see that a subtle difference decides one’s perception. Change occurs when we break our convention. So why don’t we cast a daring challenge now?
