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 />
