Very nice design.

Duncan Hunter's, by comparison, sucks. Rudy's isn't very good, either.

So did Gilmore's, I guess. (Whoever that guy was.)

Should be pointing left not `

Oh, but then he'd be accused of leaning to the left.

5. Edwards. I've never liked the Obama logo against a white background.
But it looks good against blue, as it appears on his website.

7. Edwards and Obama most graphically appealing...but who is advising McCain?
Holy shit...BLACK? Did he bother to hire a marketing consultant? Does he realize black is equated with death? And the star? A star on a black background? Shoot me now.

Although McCain's ain't bad.

19. Torn between mittens & Obama.
I would have voted for mitt's sticker but voted Obama instead.

I just can't cast a vote for a republic under any circumstances. It's a disease/mental/physical block for me.

I think the ones with colorful backgrounds tend to look better than the whites ones, and I like the writing style and the red and blue star on Richardson's.

But it's pretty clear from this that it works the best ~ McCain and Dodd's just don't do it.

24. Obama and McCain's are my favorite. Guiliani's is good as well.
You're looking for meaning, not just appealing graphics.

Obama's is the best because they've obviously taken the "O" and made it look like a rising sun. So you've got a synopsis of what his campaign is supposed to be about right there. Very clever.

McCain's is good because it references his military experience, which is his hallmark.

Guiliani's is quite plain, and seems to suggest that people should vote for him based on familiarity. That'll appeal to people.

The others look alright, but aren't saying anything to me.

27. Obama's O is amazing. We actually had a discussion about it in the Biden group.
If Edwards was smart, his logo should be a "1".

Biden's should have been a microphone.

Hillary's a kleenex.

Kucinich's = a ufo

Gravel's = a potted plant

Rudy's = the twin towers.

Hunter's = a fence

McCain = The Iraqi flag.

Romney's = a question mark

Huckabee's = a bible.

Just a little silliness on a Thursday afternoon :)

35. for Biden - the nut and bolt

working class image
getting things done
understanding the nuts and bolts of issues
his mom's wit, which he inherited

and it would have gotten people to ask about the story behind it...

45. That definitely would have been better!
I loved that story.
As a matter of fact, I loved most of Biden's stories.
The nuts and bolts story definitely gave you a sense of who he was.


(I was just getting a little silly in my previous post)

33. From this professional designer's perspective, I'd have to say Obama's, then Edwards'
Both have impeccable typography. And Obama's logo (without the logotype) is very, very good.

40. Romney. The transparent blue gradient over the stripes works well.
The font choice is good, the serifs are reminiscent of words chiseled into marble monuments. The red underscore anchors the copy and provides a dash of primary color.

Too bad I hate his policies.

47. Obama's is best.
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 07:21 PM by GreenArrow
Evocative of morning, newness, the stripes a field of freshly sown grain, the O is round soft, inviting. It's elemental.

Romneys is very clean, well designed.

Dodd for some reason has a neutral color brownish grey, that doesn't stand out in any way. I guess the brown could ssuggest that Dodd has his feet solidly on the ground, but also suggests a pedestrian stolidity.

Rudy and Hillary opt for the familiar, informal approach, first names only. That's all Rudy gives you; you supply the rest. The square design implies stability and strength.

Hillary's name appears over a rolling wave-shaped flag, suggesting her sweeping forward to victory. Three stars indicate confidence, quality, strength.

Edwards' is interesting in that it is the only sticker to include green; a play for Green minded voters? Green also implies freshness, newness, cleaness, moving forward; negatively, it implies inexperience. The rising/shooting star suggests Edwards' upward trajectory.

McCain's is very martial, solid, and aggressive, a clear play to his presumed foreign policy and military experience. The design is spiky, aggresive, and not especially inviting; it does however, indicate strength.

51. McCain's. It 's different, and it looks militarish. Also like Richardson's.
Worst are Rudy's and Dodd's. Where are Kucinich and Gravel's stickers? And what about Huckabee? Is it a cross?
