People Are Coming Up With New Slogans For United Airlines

In case you had your phone on airplane mode and didn't see the news 10 April 2017, a passenger was removed by force from a United Airlines flight after the carrier overbooked their seats. The good people of the Twitter sphere clapped back in the most hilarious way possible - by coming up with new slogans for them.

Fly the Friendly Skies, the company's current motto, didn't seem to apply to one man flying from Chicago to Louisville. The airline had overbooked the flight, a common practice used to ensure all seats are sold, and was forced to deplane him. When he refused, aviation security officers dragged him out of the aircraft, bloodying his face in the process.

Videos of the incident taken by other passengers have since gone viral, and this latest Twitter trend is set to create an even bigger PR migraine for United. Check out the best new slogans below, and throw us your own in the comments.

Why You Should Never Discourage An Artist

Why You Should Never Discourage An Artist

It’s easy to romanticize the life of an artist, but the truth is that it’s a very difficult profession to succeed in. The money isn’t always steady, your work is often undervalued, and you’ll have to put up with idiots frequently telling you to “get a real job.” It’s therefore important to encourage and support young artists as much as possible, because if you don’t then it’s very easy for them to lose hope and give up. Check out this comic to see what we mean. It was created by Zen Pencils, who used an inspiring quote by indie film director Kevin Smith to show us just how rewarding encouragement can be.

Pablo Picasso’s Paintings Reimagined As Sculptures

Pablo Picasso’s Paintings Reimagined As Sculptures

Pablo Picasso's eccentric and surreal artwork has inspired countless modern artists, including Pakistani illustrator Omar Aqil, who imagined how some of the Spanish icon's most recognisable pieces would look as 3D models.

"I have been studying his artworks since I have started my career, his abstract visual language always inspired me..." Aqil wrote on Behance about the project, titled MIMIC. "In this visual mimicry I have shown how the skill responds when it come across the complexity of someone’s thought, and how the meanings of the shapes and forms have been changed and create new physical qualities."

The models are striking, especially considering they were digitally rendered - they look as if they were physically constructed thanks to Aqil's extreme attention to textures and shadows. His work is both a fitting tribute to Picasso, and an innovative advent in its own right.

I Photographed The Invisible Light That Plants Emit

I've photographed hundreds of glowing flowers since 2014 after seeing Oleksandr Holovachov's work with ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence (UVIVF) photography.

Each time I do a set of UVIVF photos, it starts with going out under the cover of darkness to snatch unsuspecting flowers growing around the neighborhood. I rarely know what to expect from a flower before I get it back to shoot. Some I think will dazzle end up flopping, and others I am surprised by their colors or light. Every one is a surprise!

In the same way a tee-shirt blue glows under a black light, most organic material glows at least a little with UV stimulation and in all kinds of colors. To make the most of it, I make sure I'm working in the darkest environment I can and use a 365nm light so the camera can't see the UV light.

Any time the flowers are hit by sunlight, they're letting off their own glow in response and it's simply overwhelmed by the sunlight we can see. These photos capture something we always see, but never can observe.
