POLITICAL LOGOS TODAY AND YESTERDAY<br />

Creating a BRAND is usually considered<br />

as finding an identity <strong>for</strong> a product<br />

or corporation, however it also applies<br />

<strong>to</strong> people, especially politicians.<br />

the most effective logos in presidential<br />

his<strong>to</strong>ry. <strong>The</strong> O representing the O in<br />

Obama,the stripes leading through the<br />

O representing moving <strong>to</strong> the future.<br />

Another most notable of political logos<br />

was the,I like Ike logo used <strong>for</strong> Eisenhower’s<br />

campaign in the 1950’s.<br />

Creating the brand or logo <strong>for</strong> both the<br />

Democratic and Republican parties has<br />

been attributed <strong>to</strong> Thomas Nast. Nast<br />

was a German immigrant who became<br />

a recognized political car<strong>to</strong>onist <strong>for</strong><br />

newspapers in the 1880’s. <strong>The</strong> donkey<br />

and the elephant became symbols of the<br />

parties as a result of controversies over a<br />

possible third term <strong>for</strong> Ulysses S. Grant.<br />

<strong>The</strong> donkey as a symbol of stubbornness<br />

as part of the anti Civil War movement<br />

representing Grant supporters. <strong>The</strong><br />

elephant as an animal in the zoo running<br />

away from the stubborn donkey or<br />

jack ass as it was called then. <strong>The</strong>se two<br />

logos have undergone several changes<br />

over the decades <strong>to</strong> the symbols shown<br />

in this article.<br />

<strong>The</strong> branding of presidents is a similar<br />

process. <strong>The</strong> Obama logo designed <strong>for</strong><br />

his campaign is considered <strong>to</strong> be one of<br />

This election is evolving with Donald<br />

Trumps logo including his choice of vice<br />

president, Pence, appearing this week<br />

as a T penetrating a P utilizing stripes<br />

on the right side of the TP. <strong>The</strong>re have<br />

been numerous comments<br />

on the logo as representing male dominance<br />

with the T penetrating the P, also<br />

interpreted as a sex<br />

act. Visualize the<br />

T moving in and<br />

out of the P. O.K.<br />

lets get back <strong>to</strong> logo<br />

design. Dave Schilling of <strong>The</strong> Guardian,<br />

said,”Trump/Pence has no arrows, no<br />

wreaths - nothing just two letters having<br />

sex over and over again. Can we elect a<br />

man who willingly exposes children <strong>to</strong><br />

this kind of filth. Is he fit <strong>to</strong> lead.”<br />

Hillary’s initial logo with the traditional<br />

flag waving stripes has been changed <strong>to</strong><br />

the current logo, the large blue square H<br />

with a red arrow as the center line. It is<br />

probable that this will remain the dominant<br />

aspect of the logo even with the announcement<br />

of the vice presidential candidate.<br />

Sagi Haviv a logo design expert<br />

has called Hillary’s logo “one of the most<br />

successful” at this point of the campaign<br />

as being “unusual and distinctive”.<br />

As the campaign’s and the conventions<br />

evolve this week and over the next few<br />

weeks we will undoubtedly see<br />

new logos. Let’s watch <strong>for</strong> the most effective<br />

and the ones that will lead <strong>to</strong> the<br />

election of the next president.<br />

What Is it<br />

After spending <strong>20</strong> plus <strong>years</strong> in the software<br />

development world, I sure have learned a<br />

few things. I still do websites but I find my<br />

self <strong>to</strong>o picky and way over build them,<br />

because <strong>to</strong> me, I am helping <strong>to</strong> build a user<br />

experience.<br />

MMOG is not new, what is new is its<br />

adaptation <strong>to</strong> the real work in both commercial<br />

sec<strong>to</strong>r and role playing gamin, But<br />

in cassino’s gaming with MMOG, is a few<br />

steps away. With developer Niantics second<br />

MMOG release called Pokemon Go hit has<br />

emerged beyond its original virtual world<br />

and adopted a new life with augmented<br />

reality.<br />

At Tuesday nights Film Fest, I met a new<br />

mate (friend) Allister from England. As<br />

a healthcare worker, he also had a good<br />

study on computers integrated with human<br />

components like your heart That one could<br />

be described as living in an episode of Dr.<br />

Who.<br />

So this article covers the <strong>to</strong>p layer of<br />

MMOG and its commercial success with<br />

Pokemon, and helping the inves<strong>to</strong>r look at<br />

ways they might engage and benefit from<br />

this new technology.<br />

And it is here, the future is raining down<br />

upon us like never be<strong>for</strong>e, <strong>to</strong> us these changes<br />

are coming fast, but we are only seeing<br />

the tip of a huge avalanche of technology<br />

about <strong>to</strong> melt all over us. If you think fac<strong>to</strong>ry<br />

au<strong>to</strong>mation impacted our world, this<br />

new technology is changing our world, and<br />

it’s up <strong>to</strong> anyone’s guess if it will be a good<br />

thing or enslave us. <strong>The</strong> vacuum is a perfect<br />

example. Be<strong>for</strong>e it, we swept the floor<br />

maybe once a week, after it was invented we<br />

often did it once a day.<br />

Still <strong>to</strong>day we au<strong>to</strong>mated it and laugh at a<br />

clumsy au<strong>to</strong>mated Rumba bumping around<br />

like a drunk leaving a bar at 2. AM<br />

MMOG stands <strong>for</strong> Massively multiplayer<br />

online role-playing games. We describe<br />

them as some combination of role-playing<br />

video games and connected <strong>to</strong> a very large<br />

number ( Massively multiplayer ) that interact<br />

with one another, within a game world<br />

of endless size all over the internet.<br />

Remember many people still call a blue<strong>to</strong>oth<br />

the thing you stick in your ear, and<br />

ironically has nothing <strong>to</strong> do with things<br />

you stick in your ear or anyplace. Blue<strong>to</strong>oth<br />

is a set of standards <strong>for</strong> one type of wireless<br />

communions, these are like blueprints<br />

<strong>for</strong> building that thing you stick in your<br />

ear and it au<strong>to</strong>matically connects <strong>to</strong> your<br />

phone. If it doesn’t connect, then it is just a<br />

thing you stick in your ear. Call it a Q-tip<br />

If you like but they are building blocks not<br />

things<br />

In gaming MMOG, the player enters a<br />

game and assumes the role of some character,<br />

then plays some fantasy world. So<br />

MMO-RPGs are like playing PAC MAN,<br />

but with millions playing the same game at<br />

the same time. But that is where the huge<br />

and I mean Bernie Sander’s huge difference<br />

begins.<br />

Because in PAC MAN, it would mean millions<br />

of CLYDE’s and the other characters<br />

are now claiming a real world physical<br />

locations anywhere on the planet and they<br />

move about the planet. Or the universe. I<br />

am sure the space station is a Poke-S<strong>to</strong>p<br />

<strong>to</strong>o or will be. Using a lure you can get<br />

more Pokemon characters <strong>to</strong> your site and<br />

those that chase them.<br />

SHOW ME THE MONEY<br />

When someone from Mars likes your business<br />

its good, when some shares your business<br />

its like gold. <strong>The</strong>se poke chasers, are<br />

not virtual, they are real and the have cash.<br />

Your<br />

Business<br />

Lots, of cash because the economic gate <strong>to</strong><br />

MMOG is very high, it requires a recent<br />

smart phone, a data connection, mobility,<br />

and youthful energy. But we also know the<br />

greedy folks will be all about selling you<br />

free Internet stuff and a big price. Facebook<br />

is free and easily learned and so is this,<br />

and most of this is built on Open Software<br />

that is freely shared, like Pokemon and the<br />

many more MMOG augmented reality<br />

devices that will hit the next few months.<br />

So if you believe in supporting small businesses,<br />

then you should insist on Open<br />

Source free software and net neutrality<br />

because Microsoft and IBM are not bringing<br />

the future <strong>to</strong> us until that can use a pay<br />

per click model <strong>to</strong> take your cash. That<br />

will be a bridge <strong>to</strong>o far <strong>for</strong> a free Pokemon<br />

game that can increase your net investment<br />

and your company bot<strong>to</strong>m line.<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by Jersey Shore<br />

It’s amazing that we, all as a community,<br />

bond <strong>to</strong>gether in the light of a tragedy.<br />

With all the senseless and tragic<br />

displays of hate, we get that extra<br />

tragedy <strong>to</strong> make us feel united <strong>for</strong> that<br />

cause a tad longer. Yay you!!!! I suggest<br />

acting like a community all year,<br />

and maybe there won’t be as much bad<br />

in the world?<br />

I finally let go of Television. I didn’t<br />

want <strong>to</strong> pay <strong>for</strong> cable, had a few free<br />

channels, and now zero television. I<br />

watch DVDs. So, I don’t know the big<br />

news going around.<br />

With that said, I really have no clue<br />

whats going on in the world except <strong>for</strong><br />

Facebook friends rants, maybe on the<br />

internet if it pops up. All the negative<br />

acts happening in the world I don’t<br />

know about, and I am very with peace<br />

that way.<br />

<strong>The</strong> news heightens the s<strong>to</strong>ries, but<br />

just the fact that at least one person a<br />

day seems <strong>to</strong> be murdered in our local<br />

area, violence <strong>to</strong> animals, or theft. I<br />

do not want <strong>to</strong> hear that. People act<br />

like 32 gun shots a night is a normal<br />

night where they live. I’d really dislike<br />

<strong>to</strong> in<strong>for</strong>m you, but that is not normal.<br />

Its not normal <strong>for</strong> one person <strong>to</strong> end<br />

another person’s life. Or <strong>to</strong> even commit<br />

that act is NOT normal. If you<br />

disagree, then you need some help.<br />

So, hopefully the HATE will learn<br />

from itself. Turn the hate in<strong>to</strong> a more<br />

productive energy. You are not the<br />

only person on this planet, WE ALL<br />

LIVE ON <strong>THIS</strong> PLANET. So, figure<br />

out what YOUR problem is and get it<br />

in<strong>to</strong> check. I have <strong>to</strong> live on this earth<br />

with you. <strong>The</strong> question is do you want<br />

<strong>to</strong> live with ME! <strong>The</strong> answer is..NO!<br />

Peace, Love, Community?<br />

action again.<br />

<strong>to</strong> Cancer, your second house of work<br />

and finance. Prepare <strong>to</strong> unwind!<br />

CANCER: June <strong>20</strong> - <strong>July</strong> 21: Birthday<br />

season winds down, as the Sun exits<br />

while, heating up your responsible<br />

and productive second house.<br />

LEO: <strong>July</strong> <strong>22</strong> - Aug. 21: It’s Leo time!<br />

<strong>The</strong> radiant Sun—your ruler—fills<br />

more skimming the surface, Capricorn.<br />

in Leo, your eighth house of intimacy,<br />

research and joint ventures..<br />

AQUARIUS: Jan. 19 - Feb. 17: You<br />

answer <strong>to</strong> nobody, Aquarius—well,<br />

most of the time. But between now<br />

and August 23, the Sun is in Leo,<br />

your seventh house of one-on-one<br />

relationships. You might actually set<br />

aside that “Aquarius knows best”<br />

PISCES: Feb. 18 - March 19: Measure<br />

once, cut twice. <strong>The</strong> Sun enters Leo<br />

and your efficient sixth house until<br />

August 23, putting your daydreamy<br />

sign in officious spirits.<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />

Well, when you thought it couldn’t get any<br />

funnier (and scary) the Donald chose, got<br />

cold feet and finally went ahead with naming<br />

Governor Pence as his running mate.<br />

Now we have two people with absolutely<br />

NO experience in <strong>for</strong>eign affairs running<br />

on a ticket <strong>for</strong> President and Vice President.<br />

Additionally, one of the most anti-<strong>Gay</strong> tickets<br />

in recent his<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />

Trump has said he will overturn the marriage<br />

equality ruling of the Supreme Court<br />

and Pence actually signed a religious freedom<br />

bill in Indiana. Even Dick Cheney was<br />

in favor of marriage equality. Pence has also<br />

called on the defunding of Planned Parenthood<br />

and reversing Roe vs Wade.<br />

So, anti-gay, anti-women. Wonder who<br />

they will hate <strong>to</strong>morrow?<br />

Now <strong>to</strong> be <strong>to</strong>tally honest, I have been asked<br />

<strong>to</strong> be a surrogate speaker <strong>for</strong> Hillary Clin<strong>to</strong>n<br />

during the campaign, so I am a bit biased,<br />

but I am more terrified over what these<br />

people will do us and <strong>to</strong> the country if, god<br />

<strong>for</strong>bid, they got elected.<br />

Oh the funny part was their original logo<br />

that they had <strong>to</strong> scuttle within hours because<br />

it looked like the T in Trump was buttf******<br />

the P in Pence. You just can’t make up this<br />

stuff!<br />

National conventions are starting. Republicans<br />

in Cleveland and Democrats in Philadelphia.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Republicans are having a<br />

hard time filling the speaking slots with<br />

even the last two Republican Presidents<br />

not even coming <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>wn. <strong>The</strong> Dems have<br />

announced Presidents Obama and Clin<strong>to</strong>n,<br />

Vice President Biden and Bernie Sanders<br />

<strong>to</strong> name a few with Lady Gaga per<strong>for</strong>ming.<br />

Thank goodness I’ll be in Philadelphia and<br />

only suffering through Cleveland on the<br />

television.<br />

Locally, <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> made headlines again<br />

this week <strong>for</strong> two employees accused of misuse<br />

of city vehicles. <strong>The</strong> City Manager suspended<br />

the employees and an investigation<br />

continues. I know they are having rocky<br />

times, but the City will get through all this<br />

negativity and come out stronger.<br />

Most valley cities start election season this<br />

week with filing opening <strong>for</strong> city council<br />

and Mayor candidates. Watch <strong>for</strong> lots of<br />

news in Cathedral City, <strong>Palm</strong> Desert, La<br />

Quinta, Indian Wells, Indio and Coachella<br />

as folks begin the process of signing up and<br />

opening themselves up <strong>to</strong> the voters. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

will also be many local ballot measures in<br />

<strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> and Cathedral City. Other<br />

cities may follow suit. <strong>The</strong>y have <strong>to</strong> decide<br />

by mid-August <strong>to</strong> add <strong>to</strong> the ballot.<br />

Get involved. Volunteer. Give a donation.<br />

Your city – whichever one you live in needs<br />

your participation. Now’s the time!<br />

Greg Pettis is a <strong>22</strong> year city councilman in Cathedral<br />

City. He has made his name in governmental circles<br />

as an expert in transportation issues and is very active<br />

in working on bringing passenger rail service <strong>to</strong> the<br />

COACHELLA Valley. Greg was the first openly gay<br />

elected city council members In Riverside County. He<br />

has served on the boards of the National League of<br />

Cities and the League of Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Cities and as President<br />

of the Southern CA Association of Governments.<br />
