La version originale en trois dimensions de LOVE est faite d'acier Cor-Ten et est exposée au Musée d'Art d'Indianapolis depuis 1970. Le concept de LOVE a été reproduit dans une variété de formats. Ainsi, la sculpture existe en plusieurs versions et une variété de couleurs, et est maintenant exposé dans le monde entier. La version de Montréal est en aluminium.

L'emblème LOVE a été adoptée par les planchistes et apparaît fréquemment dans des magazines et vidéos de planche à roulettes. Après que la planche à roulettes ait été interdit dans le parc Love de Philadelphie, l'emblème a été utilisé par des organisations opposées à l'interdiction.
