BUILDING AN ICON TO UNCERTAINTY

The symptoms of bladder cancer are confusing. Many patients spend weeks and months believing they have another issue, such as a UTI or kidney infection, because the symptoms are very similar. I saw this confusion as a chance to start a conversation.

Presenting the Unsure Icon. The first campaign icon designed to confuse. Working with internationally awarded illustrator Noma Bar, the icon was teased across social channels ahead of Bladder Cancer Awareness Month, asking people what they saw and gathering many varied responses. We then revealed the icon’s purpose and directed people to the WBCPC website to learn more.
