The Deaf²HIV Video Testing Line logo was designed by former staff member, Erika de la Puente. The logo itself is based on the American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "Video Phone." Deaf people heavily rely on VideoPhone (VP) or face-to-face calls. The color red was used to represent universal awareness and

support people living with HIV/AIDS.
