Described now as both famous and iconic, the image featured a stylized portrait of Obama with a tagline of "Hope,""Change," or "Progress" printed at the bottom. the image is so widely recognized that it is copied and used to promote hundreds of other people, events, and characters. This example features the heroic Optimus Prime, leader of the good segment of the Transformers.
