Twitter Turns Clinton's 'H' Logo into Target for Ridicule

Hillary Clinton's campaign rollout on social media set Twitter abuzz as she likely hoped, but part of the discussion quickly veered away from the candidate herself to her new logo, and it got a hearty "thumbs down."

The blocky blue "H" with a horizontal red arrow running through it looked like a road sign pointing to a hospital, some said; it looked too similar to the logo for FedEx, others complained; it could easily be compared with a World War II-era Hungarian fascist party logo, a journalist for the Wall Street website Business Insider pointed out.

Worse yet for the would-be 2016 standard-bearer of the left-leaning Democratic Party: The arrow pointed to the right.

"So what lucky 3rd grader won the Design the Hillary Clinton Campaign Logo contest?" Tweeted a commentator with the handle @massfubar to nearly 14,000 followers.

It isn't clear who designed the logo or how much Clinton's campaign team is paying for it. Staff members did not immediately respond to Reuters' questions about the logo.

But the discussion kicked off what, for the Clinton campaign, will be an ceaseless cycle of scrutiny of her and the other presidential candidates. It also became an early reminder that missteps or hiccups by the campaigns, however small or trivial, can echo across social media at lightning speed.

I'm guessing you probably have a lot wider margins and white space on the "H" logo, right? You would need to to redo one or the other in a program like Paint to ensure your balancing of sizes balances margins as well.

It might be easier just to adjust the sizes in Paint and post as a single logo.

That red arrow should look like a part of the male anatomy so she can no longer claim not to have one!

The “Twitter Generation” most likely is totally unaware of “The Clinton Legacy”..... And THERE lies her strength - the mush-brained hipsters who will vote four times a day, because of those evil white old Rethuglicans.

I don't see many hipsters (or minorities) being jazzed by an out of touch, screechy old lady with zero charisma....not in the numbers that came out for empty suit Obama.

I like this one.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Looking closely there’s bad things you’ll find
She is evil, pretending she’s kind
And now some want to know
Just how low will she go
Two steps up is a rodent’s behind

Clever repackaging will always turn a hipster’s head - look what they did with Paul and Son Of Paul.

I posted this one on another thread.

Looks a little too Al-Jazeera-ish to me.

That too. I think he can do better. I don't like having anything that takes it's idea from the obama muslim ball.
