NJTank Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It is another example of what a narcisist Obama is, there was a flag with his picture in the blue starfield. Lets face facts people who incoperate their personal logo on a flag or face dont have a great history in the world. I recall an example some 80 years ago in Europe.

RedSox44 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Obama's logo is iconic, Romney's is generic.Especially since Romney is using Trajan Pro Bold as the go-to font on all his campaign materials (TPB is the go-to font for something generic that's trying to look classy, whether it's a college, a restaurant or a political campaign).On the topic of presidential logos: I've only known them. The "W" for Bush, I think, was the first true logo, instead of just a stylized "Candidate 1 Candidate 2" in red-white-and-blue.The article linked to above is the most ridiculous garbage I've ever read. Some of the posts above are too, for that matter. (Dictators? Really?)Take off your tin-foil hats and take this for what it is. It's not some New World Order. It's not a new american flag. It is a piece of art, done by an artist to support the Obama campaign.Obama did not paint this. I highly doubt him or his team even created the concept. This is an artist's way of displaying his political views, and helping to raise funds for Obama's campaign.Co-signed.Also, how are the stripes brown? They look pretty damn red to me.

The_Admiral Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Those Oklahoma flags are pretty dumb.Remember when Obama's graphics people made him a pseudo-official seal for the "Office of the President-elect"? That was an eyebrow-raiser for me, too. I just don't like branding in politics. I'm sorry. I prefer a certain detached artlessness. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Completely disagree. Having actual branding can soften the edges and humanize a candidate. It's the candidates who don't even try and settle for non-logos with bold fonts that would look more at home in a grade school student council election that come across as intellectually lazy, status-quo career politicians, or even worse, self-serving authoritarians.

But a boring bumper sticker that looks like everyone else's doesn't signify that you will do anything different from anyone else.

Steve-O Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Romney CampaignI'm not sure how anyone could vote for the Romney logo. Maybe the idea behind the logo isn't horrible but the execution is absolutely brutal.Look at the "curves on the bottom of the different layers of "R". They aren't even curved properly. Not to mention how the thickness of the blue R varies so horribly much. The bottom of the "curve" of the R just drives me insane. I really hope the person who made this logo did not get a lot of money because that logo is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Billy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 It's a bit outdated, even beyond featuring the Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance logos. The Greens just use green and white these days and they've tweaked the logo a bit as well. Though I do see an odd election sign here and there that uses the old logo and green/yellow colour scheme.Didn't they almost HAVE to change it?I mean isn't it difficult to sell yourself as the "green party" and have a logo that looks like the BP logo?

mjrbaseball Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Presidential campaign logos are a dime a dozen. Every single one of them uses navy, red and white (in that order, too).... with the exception of Jimmy Carter, who used green-and-white for his campaign materials in 1976 and 1980.

McCain also used blue and gold in most of his campaign materials for 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Never really saw it like this but is the Romney logo supposed to be interpreted as the red part bwinf flat while the blue and white parts make up the side of the red, which would lead to a 3d render of a badly shaped red.R but still would make sense for the blue thickness inconsistencies.Anyone know what I'm taking about?
