Presidential candidate logos and websites
Posted By The Foo On 28th August 2007 @ 05:04 In And everything else..., Fascinating or Weird | 3 Comments
The logos for next year’s presidential election seem to have two characteristics - most of them opted for a blue background and the American flag theme (red, white and blue). Four have their first name instead of their last name on their logo e.g. Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson and Dennis Kucinich.
Classiest logo: Tie between [1] Hillary Clinton and [2] Barack Obama
It clearly shows they have spent a lot on their campaign starting with good logo designers. Honorable mention goes to [3] Dennis Kucinich’s redesigned “Dennis” logo.
Catchiest logo: Fred Thompson’s “I’mWithFred”
Although it does sound like the old group [4] Right Said Fred. (Anyone remember them?)
Most unique logo abstract: Mitt Romney
The logo is supposed to represent an eagle swishing though the air. The swoosh doubles up as a wavy American flag. (In the image above, it is in the 4th row next to Chris Dodd’s logo)
Worst looking logo: [5] Mike Huckabee
The yellow somehow doesn’t go with the rest of the colors. [6] Tom Vilsack’s logo is a close second. I don’t particularly like his large V emphasis. (Middle logo, 2nd row from the bottom)
Other notables:
- [7] Rudy Giuliani’s “Rudy” logo is a classic one that just oozes simplicity. He is in a select group of people famous enough to be recognized by just their first name. Couple of others that come to mind — Arnold (Schwarzenegger) and Hillary (Clinton).
- [8] McCain’s logo has a classic look that represents his military background. Subtle but to the point. Nice touch!
For their individual campaign websites, [9] Obama’s site is the best looking with rich content features and easy navigation. [1] Hillary Clinton and [11] John Edwards come a close second.
Almost all of them jumped on the [12] Web 2.0 bandwagon and made their sites more interactive. Obama, Clinton and Edwards top the list yet again for introducing heavy social networking aspects.
[7] Rudy Giuliani’s site is a little disproportionate with part of the right hand sidebar sticking out of its margins. Besides that slight ugly part, his site is not too bad.
The least appealing and most confusing is [14] Jim Gilmore’s site. His site [15] www.gilmoreforpresident.com defaults to a blog instead of an informational site. That blog looks like a [16] Wordpress template that you can download for free. He further confuses us by having [17] another presidential blog. Gilmore has since withdrawn from the Presidential race.
