DeviantART is proud to show our support for Spirit Day, and we are joining the rest of Tumblr in going purple!
When you visit deviantART’s Tumblr today you will see less of the iconic green and more violet tones. This isn’t a study in color theory, it’s a way for deviantART to promote peace and equality!
Share the love.

deviantART is Purple!
We already turned our Tumblr Blog purple, now we turned the header of deviantART purple!
October 20, 2010 marks Spirit Day — an event to honor teens who have lost their lives to anti-LGBT bullying.
While this specific type of bullying has received a lot of media attention as of late, we’d like to bring to light how bullying is a wide-spread problem that impacts everyone — regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, ethnicity, race, or profession. And the recent surge of teen suicides associated with bullying can’t be ignored or overlooked.
In honor of Spirit Day, deviantART CEO Angelo Sotira ($spyed) took a few minutes to address this serious topic, and offers some heartfelt words.
Anonymous asks: Why is your Tumblr icon suddenly purple? ._.
DeviantART changed our social avatars to Purple in support of Spirit Day. Learn more about Spirit Day here: http://www.glaad.org/spiritday
Spirit Day is an international event to raise awareness of bullying and help prevent it in all forms. Like any online community — especially one with a younger audience — cyber bullying can be a problem. It’s important that we show our commitment to keeping deviantART a safe place for artists to learn, play and grow.
Join us as we do our part to spread awareness around this day and unite in this common cause.
