The Real 'Bad Boys'

Not trying to get all serious on you here but it seems our young are more absorbed than ever in the bad boy thing. Bad boys these days seem to be those who see themselves as partiers, risk takers, thrill seekers and evidently irresistible to the opposite sex. They're bullies, self-indulgent, self-entitled personalities and just plain folks trying to make their street reps. They are the hedonistic, tatooed pleasure seekers who think they can make themselves popular through actions that are risky, often violent, and surely inconsiderate of others. But those I speak of aren't really bad boys. They're posers. Problem is, they prey on the impressionable amongst us. Maybe we could launch a public service campaign that would speak to the issue.

In reality, the true bad boys in our collective conscience are the ones who think differently, have set examples of goodness and brought positive contributions to our cultures around the world.

They are the mavericks; the not-so-easy-to-get-along-withs. Folks well known for being relentless in their pursuits. They are the driven.

They are the ones who dared to ask the tough questions, push the limits of their professions, break the boundaries of understanding and find new paths for growth.

Their words speak of justice, advancement and positive change and their deeds pave roads to make things better for others. These are the true bad boys.

And they are those who shine a bit of light in a dim world and bring a bit of sensibility into our lives – in a world that often seems to be full of lost souls, shallow intentions and moral chaos.

These are the real bad boys.

Take these thoughts for what they're worth. Sometimes I just put stuff out there. Keeps the ol' brain cells percolating... These are mock ups so please disregard their obviously crude execution. Note: the logo uses a sourced free font called "Streetwear". Fun to play... :)
