The Obama 'Hope' poster is an iconic image of Barack Obama designed by artist Shepard Fairey during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign. Characterized by its stylized stencil look and a distinct palette of red, off-white, and shades of blue, the poster became a cultural phenomenon and a symbol of the campaign. Since its release, the design has been parodied and repurposed across the internet to feature everything from movie characters to grumpy cats. Users typically replace Obama's face with a different subject while keeping the high-contrast aesthetic and changing the bottom text to fit the new context. It remains one of the most recognizable graphic design pieces of the 21st century, serving as a versatile template for political commentary, satire, and fan art alike.
