Presidential Campaign Logos: A Graphic Critique
From the New York Times comes a brilliant comic strip critique of the campaign logos floating around the ether these days. Some of the commentary I feel is a bit over-the-top, but it’s all in the name of cheek.
If I were designing (or even critiquing) a campaign logo, the big question that comes to mind is this: How ‘American’ are we aiming for. It’s a fine line between rallying those Wal-Mart patriots, and alienating everyone else.e Obviously, some candidates are keeping there distance from the old painted pomp of the stars and stripes in red & blue.
I’m actually surprised that I myself didn’t tackle this issue sooner. I mean, I did spend quite a bit of energy analysing the G8 Summit Logos.
