Re: Politics for designers

Comments on the logos:

This logo, although horrendous, is a much better fit for Trump.

The eagle in Rick's logo reminds me of The Stephan Colbert eagle.

Jeb! looks like an icon for a mobile app.

Rubio's logo looks like it has a fish hovering over the "i".

The O'M' looks a commercial with soccer moms speaking in text slang.

Hilary's logo is terrible.

The Carson logo is the only one I can stand, considering it looks like its medical related.

Here is a initial survey on the public's reaction to some of the logos.

I kind of agree with the people, the bank of america symbol aka Ted Cruz'
s logo isn't that bad

Statements from designers about Hilary's logo: 

When you look at successful logos — Nike, McDonald's, Coca-Cola — you notice they tend to be pretty curvy. Most political campaigns' logos do the same: think of the Obama design, for example, from 2008.

Then there was the Clinton campaign's decision to go with basic, primary colors. Red on blue is typically a faux pas in design, Weinschenk says, because it can hurt viewers' eyes ...

When you put basic geometry with primary colors it starts to feel kiddish
