Pigeons in the Park, by Mike Kirby, 65, retired, Hull
“I was fascinated by the pigeons on a shed roof in Pearson Park, Hull. They would fly up, circle the lake, then land again. I thought, if I wait long enough, they might make a G2 shape. After a bit of Photoshopping, they did.”

Won’t Get Fooled Again, by Chris Ramsey, 58, retired, Truro
“I was inspired by a student’s handmade placard at one of the tuition fees demonstrations, the ripped cardboard symbolising so eloquently Nick Clegg’s decision to tear up his pre-election promise.”

Blind Spot, by Anthony Green, 61, retired, Leeds
“This hopefully represents G2 in braille. I don’t even know if braille calendars are produced for the blind, but if they aren’t, this might highlight the need.”

Smoking, by John WG Seamons, 32, PhD student, Ely
“I waited until the sun was shining directly into my window, set the camera to manual and, using a remote, took some shots of myself smoking a tobacco-free herbal cigarette. It tasted horrible.”

Locktastic, sent by Patricia Lawar, 54, writer/photographer, Milton Keynes
“This picture was taken by my husband while I was napping on a Sunday afternoon. I think it is highly artistic of him to fashion my dreadlocks in such a creative way.”

A Lucky Break, by Edie Purdie, 42, mum, Suva, Fiji Islands
“By using a wide aperture I was able to focus on the green and blue spot balls on our pool table, which provided the message I was looking for. I like the way the pool cue comes gradually into focus at the edge.”

Ear’s the News, by Gayle Knight, 46, creative director, Oswaldtwistle
“Fortunately, my husband is patient. We tried razors but couldn’t get the detail, so used nail scissors instead. He shaves his head every week, so he completely shaved off the whole lot afterwards.”

Supplemental Measures, by Jon Mould, 32, IT manager, Steyning
“I wanted my image to be subtle, so I chose an everyday object and blended in the G2 as best I could. The slightly grainy black and white quality reminds me of Melody Maker and NME shots from the early 90s.”

The Face of G2, by Hannah Portner, 17, student, London
“I chose to use my face as a canvas because G2 is about two things: what it is made up of and who reads it. And anyone can be a reader, from a middle-aged person to a teenager like me.”

The Words Sprang From the Page, by Niamh Donnellan, 29, marketing executive, Dublin
“Linking G2 and literature seemed obvious. The G was easy enough to find, but a suitable 2 was harder. By the time I had an image I was happy with, I was surrounded by a sea of books.”

Leg2o, by Russell Hill, 41, web designer, Brighton
“We were discussing ideas for the calendar and one of our kids suggested Lego. I thought it would be fun to try to replicate the font as closely as possible. I guess it has worked, although the angle could be less straight.”
