Troll Tax

To combat the rise of trolling on Twitter, we created a tool to donate to charities in a troll's name.

How to works: Anytime a troll posts on Twitter, the URL of the tweet can be entered into https://trolltax.org and used to donate to a selection of non-profit organizations in the troll’s name. Once the donation is made, users can then tweet a confirmation back at the troll, announcing publicly that their trolling prompted a donation.

IDENTITY

I designed the identity for Troll Tax, with an eye toward striking the balance between the seriousness of the issue of trolling while keeping it light hearted. After a few iterations, we landed on what you see here — a playfully serious identity.
