COVID-19 Awareness Ribbon Designs

The following designs were created and submitted by Terry French, Founder of WXYZr Inc., the world's first Social Technology company. WXYZr Inc is seeking market adoption of its break-through flagship social technology TAP-iN (Technical-Access-Point-Information-Network), developed to revolutionize a new normal to social processes in a post covid-19 economy. The two images below show the Pandemic Ribbon as a polka-dot design comprised of the colors of all known awareness ribbons as a meaningful representation of the equilateral impact of the covid-19 pandemic on all health conditions around the world.

Joyce sent us her ribbon design inspired by the feeling that the only thing that makes sense for COVID-related ribbons is tie-dye. She suggests orange and white (peace, clarity, vitamin c, sun, vibrancy) similar to her above image suggestion. Joyce feels that everyone will recognize the tie-dye and immediately differentiate it with 2020 and the enormous popularity of the DIY and fashion trends. A simple two color tie-dye is more pleasing to the eye, is gender-neutral, is a peaceful tie-dye hue and would capture so much feeling for all of us.

I drew this ribbon because when I think of COVID-19, I think of darkness surrounded by a muddled, confused grey area. Whether that darkness is because of death, depression or some other cause, that is up to you. I designed this completely by myself and I think it reflects COVID-19 perfectly - Submitted by Jennifer S.

Ashley D. contacted Disabled World in regards to the creation of a COVID-19 awareness ribbon: I had a design in mind and an example to attach that I wanted to share with you. Ashley is an RN and shaken by this pandemic that has affected our world. In her own words: I'm most upset over the fact that these victims are literally dying alone. The black represents loss/mourning and the yellow dots represent COVID-19 itself, as it appears to resemble yellow dots under a microscope.

Angela A. submitted these ribbon designs - I handmade these ribbons to represent Covid-19 in Maryland and the United States. They were given to Staff at Sinai hospital here in Maryland, sent to the Governor, and will be given out to those on the # list. I crocheted some and again the others were handmade in the picture. The colors are Maryland Flag and the United states flag. Every state should have one created using their flag colors along with United States flag (side-by-side) because we are all being affected by this pandemic and it represents everyone.

Denise G. wrote in and told us: Attached is my idea for a COVID-19 ribbon design idea. It shows that the virus does not play favorites. You can catch it regardless of race, sex or age. And to help stop the spread wear a mask. It has a double meaning for all the medical help that work so hard wearing masks everyday and to the people who are helping to stop the spread. They are hanging on doors now and only paper would love to see made and worn.

The Ribbon for COVID-19 team have created a new white support ribbon for COVID-19 health care workers fighting the war on the Coronavirus.

Description of the ribbon: white ribbon with "COVID-19", a medical heart symbol, and "We Care!".
NOTE: The design in various forms is copyrighted ©

Reason for design: The white COVID-19 ribbon signifies the support we give to our health care workers as they risk their lives to help patients fight the coronavirus (COVID-19). The heart symbol shows the passionate hearts of our medical professionals and essential workers. The words "We Care!" let everyone know that we all care about our health care workers and that they care about their patients. Ribbons come together with a clutch backing pin to allow attaching to any article of clothing.

COVID-19 Awareness Ribbon Descriptions

1 - My brother and I are trying to start a campaign in memory of our Aunt, and for those lost to covid. Its Red White and Yellow. RED for Covid, White for those taken so innocently, Yellow for distancing.

2 - Since there are so many ribbon colors and designs for many disabilities already in use, may I suggest, that as a nation we make better use of our American Flag and a red/white/blue ribbon. By putting out our flag, which many people do already, it may help to show we are "one nation together" fighting this Virus. Americans are fighters, we are strong and caring and we pull ourselves together when times get tough. An extra red/white/blue ribbon tied to a tree could help bring more awareness. Just a thought. Why come up with something new? Use what many might already have - Donna L. G.

3 - I think a COVID-19 ribbon should be red, white, blue, and black with a dove - Roseanne W.

4 - You were asking for ideas for a Corona virus ribbon to honor first responders - why not use the standard ribbon with a light blue to dark blue transition - or a ceil blue - the colors of our scrubs - ‎Susan G.S.

5 - Kyle B. and Rio A. sent us this suggestion for a ribbon design:

Covid 19 started out in one country, but then began rapidly spreading throughout the world. This is not a one country problem, this is a world problem. We need to come together as a world, not just a country. The world was affected, and as a world we need to unite! Strong as ever, united as one.

The image of the Covid 19 awareness ribbon would be all of the countries flags, or a random assortment of country flags (depending what can fit on the ribbon), taking up the entirety of the ribbon.

If the ribbon were to be displayed on a background, the ribbon should be on a gray background. The countries flags taking up the entirety of the ribbon would "pop" against the gray background. The color gray represents perspective, and symbolizes compromise - being neither black nor white. The flags on the ribbon unite the world as one, while the gray represents the need of everyone coming together and compromising on social distancing and the use of masks to help get the problem under control.

NOTE: These are "unofficial suggestions" and images for a Coronavirus COVID-19 Awareness Ribbon. However, should a particular design become popular it may be taken up as the "official" awareness ribbon for COVID-19 and/or Coronaviruses by other organizations. There are no prizes or awards etc. We are just interested in what designs people come up with.
