So Which GOP Presidential Candidate Has the Worst Campaign Logo?

We associate most major brands with their logo. When first hearing the word Microsoft, you think windows. Ralph Lauren? Polo player. The same goes from presidential candidates. Which GOP 2012 hopeful will top President Obama’s successful “O” logo in 2008?
It almost feels like a hotel logo or something. Or an app “Do you need a president? There’s an app for that” ouch.
“As the presidential election heats up, images for candidates’ campaigns will be splashed across the country, most containing their official logo. Some prove successful, others an eyesore. The Summit Group, an advertising and public relations firm in Salt Lake City, took a look at candidates’ early visuals.
Obama‘s trademark ’O‘ is considered one of the most successful logos since ’I Like Ike.’
‘The Obama logo was really successful because anyone who looked at it kind of got it,’said James Rabdau, VP and Creative Director for The Summit Group. ‘It created a beautiful opportunity to create this sort of like new day dawning over America.’
Republican candidates in the 2012 presidential election show a trend; red, white and blue all over.”
Interesting. Still lets hope voters will take the time to learn a little more about candidates aside from their logo.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 4:49pmThe red/white on Obama’s logo looks like a road. Someone please make a faux O sticker with that road running off a cliff! That’d be more appropriate.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 4:42pmThey said Romney’s logo was a contender for the best, and then said the ‘R’ was awkward. The ‘R’ was the only thing on the logo that was actually logo. The rest was just white font on a blue background. I wasn’t fond of any of them. These logos are like a clique of blonde teenage girls. They’re trying to stand out without standing out. Which comes off clone-like and insecure. And Huntman’s just looked corporate. Not a good direction to take in this political climate.

Posted on July 5, 2011 at 4:34pmYeah, logos. Glad we’re taking this political cycle seriously. Not like there aren’t any issues to deal with. I am voting for the candidate who comes to the table with ideas and solutions, not catch phrases. I don’t care to listen to how “American” you are or how much fuel we need to put in the engine and any other cliche. I want someone who takes this seriously and it prepared to debate, discuss and offer real solutions to the American people. There is only one candidate who has thought about the issues and is prepared for the tough road ahead of us. Only one.

Look to the candidates stand on the constitutionality of EVERYTHING.
THEN ask that candidate (s) to SWEAR to uphold the Constitution.
