What criteria influence the selection of appropriate propaganda images?

The image constructed as the logo for the "NO BP GAS UNTIL THE LEAK IS STOPPED" campaign is in my view an inappropriate choice.

As someone who had their cage significantly rattled by the event and the original images of the 1968 execution I can not see the alignment or leverage point.

It is an image which may not have much "meaning" to current generations - so the connection will have to be inculcated. And for those of us who are familiar with the context - the meaning does not harmonize.
