Why the rubber duck?

The rubber duck was chosen as a motif because of its ties as a protest symbol. The duck as an animal represents emotion and water energy. It helps navigate intuition and intention. The rubber duck has been blown up and used to represent democracy. In China, it’s been used to protest tanks, and in Brazil, the corrupt administration of President Dilma Rousseff.

The RDC or Rubber Duck Co. voice is edgy, artsy, and bold. It stands out from different brands that call you to action in their dynamic graphics and overlays. The postcard collection gives the public not only a chance to interact with the brand but also mail their local politian about their feelings of people being forced apart at the border and the ongoing refugee crisis.
