“i love boobies! is about loving your body and loving your boobies. Our message is short, fun, and iconic– inspired by my time living in New York as a designer and seeing the classic iconography of I ♥︎ New York at the bodegas, the coffee cups, in the subway. I flipped it, and used my design sensibility to have the phrase reach younger audiences. It was never about sexualizing women, breasts or anything like that. It was and still remains a way to start conversations around our mission to promote breast cancer early detection and prevention.
The i love boobies! logo design came from the mind of artist Mark Cruz, whom I went to high school with, then later went on to work with him at DC Shoes. We had no idea how popular the design would be! So stoked to have worked with a friend to build our classic logo that endures today.” —Shaney jo Darden, Founder & Global Creative Officer
