These posters are part of a project between Shft, a Danish design and graphics bureau, and This Issue, a fashionable designer store situated in the heart of Copenhagen. The Shft-boys have asked 10 young up-and-coming artists to play with their identity: a logo of hands doing the "okay" sign.

The artists have made [their own interpretation of the brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-logo-remix) hands and produced these [brilliant and quirky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play) [limited edition posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-night-posters). The artists in the gallery include Louise Filt Mertens, Jakob Tolstrup, Rafaela de Campos, Rafaela de Campos, Kristina Broen, and Sacha El-Azem.
