Potential Problems".

A campaign can survive an ugly logo. It can even survive having people who dont care if the logo is ugly.

If you're suggesting they "didn't care" about the direction of the arrow and what it might be taken to imply, that's not what I'm saying. i'm willing to bet they DID care, enough to say "okay, we want an arrow in the H to signify movement, progress, momentum. If we put it going right, sure, there will be some on DU, etc. who will flip out over it... But if we put it going LEFT, oh, fuck... We will never hear the fucking end of it from the GOP, etc. until the election... We wont even be able to talk about issues, because it will be all "but whataboutcher socialist saul alinsky arrow draggin the country to the far left" blah blah. We can't put it going Up- although up would probably be the preferred direction- because it would destroy the H. For too many reasons to name here, we can"t make it going down"

So there's a logical set of reasons why I could see them making this design choice, and NONE of them have to do with sending some secret message. It was their only available choice, I suspect.
