Organizational information
Project 2,996 is an online initiative to get people to learn about--and remember--the victims of 9/11.
Design rationale
The Zinnia is a flower with a very personal connection to 9/11. Zoe and Dana Falkenberg were two of the youngest victims, and their surviving family has asked that people plant Zinnias (Zoe's favorite flower) as a remembrance. The four stars above the zinnia represent the four planes and four crash sites of 9/11. The coloring scheme where the shield is divided into two colors with the charges inverted is called counterchanging, and is used to represent the stark change our country and world went through.
