Crane’s Grapes and Acorns Logo
Designed by Instagram artist Cranecat, it depicts the DSA’s interracial handshake in front of grapes and acorns. The grapes represent one of Sonoma County’s biggest industries while the acorns represent the region’s deep indigenous roots.
Grey’s Acorns, Vineyards, and Moon logo
Inspired by Crane’s grapes and acorns logo, Sonoma County DSA member Grey designed an alternate version that replaces the grapes with vineyard-covered hills in front of a grape-vine leaf with a crescent moon on it, a nod to Sonoma’s alternate name; Valley of the Moon.
Auggie’s Redwood Logo
Designed by Sonoma County DSA member Auggie, this logo depicts the DSA’s interracial handshake below a redwood tree, a nod to the North Bay Area’s impressive range of coastal redwood trees. Additionally, the text-bearing circle around the tree and handshake includes acorns and oak leaves as a reminder of the region’s deep indigenous roots.
Devon’s Rooster and Rose Logo
Designed by Sonoma County DSA member Devon, this logo depicts the DSA’s interracial handshake in front of a rose from which sprouts the head of a rooster. Devon included the rose for its long-standing history as a socialist symbol. The rooster is included both as a symbol of Sonoma County’s huge population of agricultural workers and to invoke some of Sonoma County’s first socialist activists; Petaluma’s community of secular Jewish socialist immigrants from Eastern Europe, who were powerful activists from their arrival 1920s until their repression by the Red Scare and McCarthyism of the 1950s.
Jesse’s Laser Rooster Logo
Designed by Sonoma County DSA member Jesse, this logo depicts a cartoon rooster shooting lasers out of its eyes. The rooster is both a symbol of Sonoma County’s huge population of agricultural workers and an invocation of some of Sonoma County’s first socialist activists; Petaluma’s community of secular Jewish socialist immigrants from Eastern Europe, who were powerful activists from their arrival 1920s until their repression by the Red Scare and McCarthyism of the 1950s. In this logo, the rooster is shooting lasers from its eyes to symbolize the power of socialist activism.
