1. I made it blue!

So it's all okay now.

[hrmjustin]

5. Your logo is not coming through for me.

[Agschmid]

7. .

[Action_Patrol]

12. I get the original logo...

Red/white and blue, because 'Murica. However, yours is prettier

[joshcryer]

20. Yep, red, white, and blue.

Should make for some great signage that can be seen from afar.

[Agschmid]

21. Haha I try!

[Action_Patrol]

22. You did well. Funny how simple color swaps change everything.

[hrmjustin]

14. Much better.

[joshcryer]

18. Here's the color they use for their social media button:

(I made it in svg if anyone wants it...)

[Agschmid]

19. Cool thanks.

[BainsBane]

38. She could do one with the arrow in pink

or just the triangle in pink. That would be cool.

[KittyWampus]

57. rainbow arrow

[hrmjustin]

64. Yes. The freak out here is amusing.

[Cha]

24. I like yours best.. it's great how you can do that, Agschimid Me don't like red.

[brooklynite]

61. You SAY it's Blue, but I say it's white and gold...

[marym625]

2. Sorry, love

But a red arrow pointing right was not a mistake. I don't give a flying f#$ k what the logo is when it comes to who I vote for. But to ignore the reach to the right would be ridiculous.

The logo makes a statement that is exactly what she is doing. And this right is way too wrong to reach out to

But I do hate wearing socks

[marym625]

10. There is absolutely no way

That the logo wasn't made precisely to indicate what it does. I don't like Hillary but I know she is one smart cookie.

Love you too, K.

[BainsBane]

37. I'm pretty sure it's meant to be forward. nt

[marym625]

56. I'm sure it does

But it also means moving forward by moving right

Don't get me wrong. As I said, I don't care what a logo looks like. It isn't going to influence my vote one way or another for anyone. I responded to a post, that is not a serious issue, from someone I respect. I just don't believe that this logo wasn't discussed and tested up the wazoo. It's being interpreted the way it is because that is what it is meant to say. It's what Hillary Clinton has said for a long time, reaching across the isle, compromise, etc.

[Logical]

3. If logos don't matter then why do they have them? nt

[Agschmid]

8. As it should be with most people...

[JimDandy]

28. It reflects badly on her team. Another run at the presidency

with yet another team that makes bad decisions doesn't bode well for Hillary.

[JimDandy]

33. I hope Hillary, at least, is taking the criticism of her logo

choice seriously. You have the luxury not to...you're not running.

[JimDandy]

39. You really don't get it.

LMAO!

[JimDandy]

46. Have you served on a dem candidate's election team?

I have. And I've seen both well managed and poorly managed campaigns. The decisions the team makes, in totale, CAN make or break a candidacy. The logo decision by itself didn't, as you said, "doom" her candidacy (I voted "no" in your poll by the way, if you check) That's ridiculous hyperbole. But the logo was poorly executed and has caused a distraction right out of the starting gate...NOT GOOD!

[JimDandy]

49. Got to turn in for the night

Will reply tomorrow

Goodnight

[Action_Patrol]

9. Art for Art's sake?

If I have to pick a font to stare at all day, I'm going to lean towards Helvetica over Comic Sans. I'm not going to build a religion around it, tattoo it on my arm or let it spoil my delicious taco plate.

[justiceischeap]

63. SOCIAL. MEDIA. nt

[LanternWaste]

66. Some may see a wide range difference between "extremely important" and don't matter."

Some may see a wide range difference between "extremely important" and don't matter." Though it may take an adult mind possessing a rational insight to see the difference... so I can readily empathize with the youthful, still-developing and sophomoric mind which is limited to two extremes. Bless their little hearts.

[JaneyVee]

11. What's wrong with her logo?

If you see that logo anywhere you will know exactly what it is. Mission accomplished.

[Fearless]

32. Umm...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

13. I voted no

because "I'm not wearing pants" was not an option.

[m-lekktor]

16. an arrow pointing to the right is PERFECT for her!!

[olddots]

17. What me worry

was a fine logo

[Rex]

23. Yes I base all my choices on brand recognition.

[Cha]

25. I dunno.. I sure fell in love with

this.. Makes me feel good every time I see it.



KMOD

[Cha]

27. So Awesome and always will be!

[JimDandy]

30. That is the best one ever, grapically, at least in my lifetime.

[Fearless]

31. Who here actually liked the new Democratic Party logo?

[Art_from_Ark]

40. Some people readily adopted it

but I think it's lifeless and too reminiscent of the Chicago Cubs logo.

[Fearless]

42. It was very utilitarian to me. I liked the old one.

[Art_from_Ark]

45. The old one was definitely much better

[NanceGreggs]

34. There is only ONE thing more important ...

... than a campaign logo - and that's the importance of psychoanalyzing that logo to death.

It tells you everything you need to know about a candidate - if you just know where to look.

It's a cross between a Captain Midnight decoder ring and a Winky-Dink screen - or like a 'fifties 3-D movie that you can't really see unless you're wearing, um, "special glasses".

As it's turning out, however, that logo seems to actually be the ultimate DU Rorschach test.

[NanceGreggs]

47. Oh, you missed me?

Really?

That smiling emoticon says the opposite. It says you were happy I was gone - in fact, it says you couldn't be happier.

And you can't miss the fact that that emoticon's smile tilts to the right - the right! - and if you flip it upside-down, it's actually frowning - and that's because it's actually a Wall Street-lovin' 1%er, just like HRC.

I have learned a LOT today about how seemingly innocent symbols - like emoticons and campaign logos - can actually convey secret messages - to those who are astute enough to recognize them.

You'd better wake up, KMOD, and start reading the tea-leaves. Hillary probably lost 2016 for us with the unveiling of that logo. But THAT was her diabolical plan all along - wasn't it?

[leftofcool]

55. LOL! Welcome back Nance!

[hrmjustin]

65. Good to see you back.

[BainsBane]

35. Yes! If an arrow is pointing right, they won't get my vote

I'll vote for Ted Cruz instead! That'll teach her.

[graegoyle]

50. Don't you mean, "Damn RIGHT!"

Also, I do not see the option for, "I wish I wasn't wearing pants."

[Angleae]

54. They have logos?

Honestly, I've never noticed.

[DrDan]

58. wish there was a selection for getting time back that was lost venturing into this thread

[LWolf]

59. The whole concept of a candidate logo is offensive.

It's a corporate marketing tool, and its existence turns me off because I don't want my government or my elected officials to be corporate tools.

The logo that HRC unveiled is not just a corporate tool, it has a red arrow pointing to the right; a symbol of exactly what I don't want.

[HereSince1628]

60. I think it's -possibly- suggestive of more important things

I say possibly, because 'who knows', how this was approved within the campaign

The vetting team clearly wasn't well connected to the way Americans in general and the entire range of the democratic base would respond to such a symbol. Or they knew and didn't care.

I would suggest if such casual disconnectedness is systemically present within Team Hillary there are going to be problems with pushing the populist message she's trying to initiate.

The image of her campaign is one wherein she's surrounded by battalions of advisers on all topics. If it's not a problem with being disconnected or not caring to be connected, are the advisers no good? Was their advice ignored?

Just when you think that months, perhaps years of preparation would insure a smooth roll-out for the decades long pursuit of the office, once again it's another piddly detail that was overlooked or disregarded.

[kentauros]

62. I'm not wearing any pants, either.

Naturally

[Douglas Carpenter]

67. unless it has swastika in it or some other offensive symbol - I don't think I would even notice

[BlueJazz]

68. I voted Yes. There just happens to be things in this world that are more important...

...than the sincerity or truthfulness or commitment or integrity of a Democrat and that thing is Legos. So there.

[Zorra]

69. Of all the logos I've ever seen, Hillary's is the only one that has ever made me wonder. nt
