Brandin’ ‘Em Like Cattle

Well, howdy!!! Seems the folks over yonder at the DNC, or as they preferred to be called nowadays, “The Circle D” have come up with a fancy new brandin’ logo to paste on all them mindless cattle what like to vote for ’em. Mercy sakes alive, they’s even tellin’ the cattle to pay to brand themselves for ’em! What a riot!

Trouble is tho’, their new logo really ain’t all that fancy at all. In fact, it seems downright bland if you ask me! But, seein’ as how our very own Harvey noticed a certain similarity ‘tween their “fancy” new logo and Sir Thomas Crapper’s great contribution to human civ’lization, I got to thinkin’ maybe they’d like some help mooovin’ that there merchandise they’s a-sellin’, so I whupped up a few bumper stickers fer ’em based on Harvey’s much more eye-pleasin’ redesign! Let me know what y’all think…

Ya know, one thing keeps on a-botherin’ me about that new logo. It seems a might too familiar…

Wait a minute…

Almost there…

That’s it!

I knew I’d seen it somewhere’s before! Them Democrats is as sneaky as rattlesnakes and twice as slipp’ry! Best mind yourselves when wanderin’ near ’em, I always say.

  1. I’ve seen three pretty good takes on this new logo around the net.
    1) It resembles a target.
    2) It could be easily spraypainted by graffiti “artists” – but can easily be countered with a simple red slash.
    3) It looks like the grades I received on several high school assignments.

  2. Lest we think there may be any bias in our opinions, the graphic designers at Brand New think it stinks:

    From the author of the article:
    I’m all for simplicity and directness, but I wonder if this crosses the line from simple to simpleton. I mean, it’s hard to argue against a properly centered “D” within an equally weighted stroked circle. It’s properly done. It would require some really sucky design skills to screw it up. But even then it’s kind of a let down.

    Comments (from designers):
    One word: Lame.

    The icon looks like it came straight out of a subway station, but even the Chicago Transit Authority has more life than that D.

    sigh…I can just see pundits and critics using the “D” as a punchline for the Democrats performance – “just above failing” “almost failing” etc…could be bad news.

    A ‘D’ in a circle, a very uninteresting re-branding effort and I hate the type choice underneath.

    Even worse, it looks like a big toe sticking out from under a white sheet in the morgue. D = Dead as a Doornail.

    D. Dull. Dead. Doring. (Whoopsie.) I am boreD.

    Bland. Unexciting. Forgettable. A perfect fit!

    I think it’s interesting that the Democrats and the Obama logo both use a washed out color of blue that doesn’t match the blue that’s in the U.S. flag. Just sayin’.

    … and the letter D is for democrats. This logo is so Sesame Street.

    Might as well have been an F for fail.

  3. Looks like your president has a new hat.

    If they have 3 bumper stickers, its d d d

    Harvey’s looks better than thiers.

    They had to go to one letter because 3 was too many syllables.

    I can see hte restroom signs being changed to indicate d, men and women.

  4. I think it’s supposed to resemble the D-inside-O that’s the “overdrive” gear. They’ve been all about the “D goes forward, R goes back” lately. If they’ve doubled down on it, though, I think they’ve misunderstood which gear you want the country to be in when it’s headed for the edge of a cliff…

  5. Heck we are we going to be required to wear one of these to the emergency to get care? We are laughing now but were does these stuff lead to? I study history; I have a grandmother in law who lived in Germany circa 1930-40’s. This stuff is a little scary…
