His campaign was social-media-driven, as you might expect from a Millennial, so the world has become accustomed to seeing this Bollywood-inspired virtual poster.
Matthew Haughey on Bluesky shared a fun generator using the same font and distinctive colours, whipped up by a professor of computer science at Indiana University.

He was kind enough to add the real creators of the original image, too.
The agency behind the real work is a design coop called Forge and they did an absolutely incredible job https://www.forge.coop/

The generator caught the imagination of Bluesky, inspiring people to make their own slogans using pop culture, literary and other references. The images flooded the platform – which caught our eye.
