There are many ways to get your site noticed, but one of the most successful of them is to be original when it comes to design. No matter if it’s a texture, typography or imagery that helps your website stand out from others, but if you have that special something in the design of your website, than more than likely it will be easy to remember.
Today we’d like to show you 10 websites that prove that even one image can add spice to your design. In our case, it will be an image of a fist or a raised fist.
- A fist is a sign of unity, power and determination. Sometimes it represents anger or rebellion. Also, an image of a fist can be used to emphasize something.
- The raised fist (also known as the clenched fist) is a symbol of solidarity and support. It is also used as a salute to express unity, strength, defiance, or resistance…The symbol has been picked up and incorporated around the world by various groups fighting oppression
Would you like to know whether the fists on the following sites are raised in victory or anger? Please go ahead and look through the screenshots!

Sean-Fournier.com is a music site where you can download Sean’s favorite songs and buy cute bracelets that will remind you to come back to listen to other songs.

Defend the Inter
Website : defendtheinter.net
The main aim of launching this site was to prevent SOPA (the Stop Internet Piracy Act) and PIPA (the Protect-IP Act) from passing. It was to inspire people to defend Internet and this is where the raised fist could help. After all, it’s the symbol of rebellion.

Fist of Blog

Fist of Blog is one of many blogs that knows a little of everything. A fist is a main part of the logo and we can only guess why it was chosen for such purpose, but we can not deny it adds some strength to the design.
