Thousands share Colorado Springs graphic artist’s tribute to theater shooting victims

[Are_grits_groceries]

A Colorado Springs graphic artist’s tribute to the victims of the Aurora movie theater shooting is spreading across the web.

Mark Rantal’s blue ribbon image interlaces elements of the Colorado state flag, a heart shape and an outline of Batman (see below). His cover photo includes the words “July 20, 2012 In Memoriam.” The image is reminiscent of a 19-year-old student’s tribute to Steve Jobs, which went viral.

The Denver Comic Con Facebook page grabbed Rantal’s photo and urged fans to “‘like this picture to show your support and love for our community.” More than 3,200 people have shared the post.

A gunman killed 12 and injured 59 others early this morning after opening fire at the Century 16 midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises.”
