I want to hire Obama's graphic design team...
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 04:44 PM by Labors of Hercules
They are Awesome!!





For comparison:



Sorry Hillary, but Obama's marketing team has come up with a fantastic graphic
that employs just the right elements of symbolism and style...
Vote Obama, he's got a better logo!

8. It is really good. I love the visual tie between the rising sun and the O in his name.
and the 0 in 08. Harder to do stuff like that with an H. ;)

16. Yeah I didn't even think of that. And that an O is a circle
a symbol for sustainability and such.

14. All that glisters is not gold,
Prince of Morocco:
"All that glisters is not gold."


The Merchant of Venice (II, vii)
Portia is a beautiful, virtuous, wealthy woman who is being wooed by numerous suitors. She is not free to decide on her own whom she will marry because her late father stipulated in his will that she must marry the man who correctly picks the one casket (out of three) that contains her picture. One casket is gold, another is silver, and the third is made of lead. The Prince of Morocco is one in a long line of suitors who tries to win Portia's hand, and he decides that it would demean Portia to have her picture in anything other than a gold casket, and so he chooses that one. As he unlocks it, he is dismayed to find a picture, not of Portia but of Death, with a message written in its hollow eye: "All that glisters is not gold; / Often have you heard that told. / Many a man his life hath sold / But my outside to behold. / Gilded tombs do worms enfold." With a grieving heart the Prince takes hasty leave of Portia, who is happy to see him go, saying, "A gentle riddance."

12. I wonder about the symbolism... is Obama represented by the white light?
It appears he's represented by the white sun in the logo, rising above the field of America. I can't help but think of Oprah when I see that logo. It has her style to it.

13. It does a little...
It works on many levels, and that's probably one of the contributors to it.

20. rising or setting? What would Franklin say today?
At Independence Hall, as the delegates signed the Constitution, Franklin pointed to the president's chair, which had a sun painted on it. Franklin eloquently stated before all the representatives:

"I have often...in the course of this session...looked at that...without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting; but now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun."
