I think Obama’s text and graphic look really classy.

Can’t believe it took 2 people to write this - I wonder if they take turns using the one brain cell they own between them.

Back when I was in the ad biz, we called stuff like this "overthink".

Irony:
Insisting that each election year sees office-holder-wanna-be’s sticking with the same theme of “change”

I don't like it. I think it looks like a tourist agency's logo. McCain's looks like a car company logo to me.

I note that they describe Romney’s, but don’t actually show it. What’s up with that?

Actually, webdings does, but very few would be able to read it.

Hillary’s and Huckabee’s are almost identical.

It does look a bit tourist agency, but I still kind of like it.
I think Huckabee’s is the worst. As they said, it’s cluttered, and it also varies too much from element to element. Looks very thrown together.

My question is Change from WHAT to WHAT? Has anyone ever asked any of these advocates for CHANGE, just exactly what they would like to change? That might give us a clue as to their intentions. Just change for change sake may NOT be in our best interests. It might be from democracy to socialism for all we know. It might be from self reliance, and the American spirit of the rugged individual to government dependency, more welfare, assimilation of illegals into our society. It's just something to think about.

If the writer of the article knew what they were talking about, they would know that McCain is in the typeface called Optima and it is a sans serif font. There is no such thing as an in between.

Obviously, the default MS Word font changed the entire CBS News Organization!

Actually, it might be Zapf Humanist Bold. (The joke being that they are pretty much the same typeface.)

All of these logos look like they were generated in 8th grade detention using MS Word
Huckabee - We don’t need his first name; the swoosh wastes space
Obama - Looks like a box for a curative for hemorrhoids. Indecisive colors, lower case, lacks confidence. Web address looks like an afterthought
McCain - Optima typeface, very 1986. The star graphic lockup says ‘military’; black and white says MIA flag. Call Ross Perot, John
Hillary - Can’t say Clinton, 3 stars unfurling on a toiletpaper flag, which about sums up her view of the constitution
Rudy - Bold, Big R for Republican, if in name only.
Edwards - First name separates him from all the other Edwards who are running. Lopsided, waste of space, meaningless (green for AlGore?) swoosh and star.
Political advertising.
Yuck.

I wonder about the significance of the three stars and three stripes. A third term?
Perhaps it's the number of states that will be left in the Union after 4 years of Hillary.
