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 am _so_ sorry about it. But given the point of this thread, and that I had the same reaction when encountering it on another thread, seemed fitting to post it here. I’m sorry, really I am.

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 remember an especially weird picture of Nixon with the blurb, ‘Would you buy a used car from this guy?’

That could go double for Evita! If you shake hands with HER ... count your fingers! :)

She’s SO disagreeable and dishonest LOOKING, that a lot could be done like that.

Frankly, given the very long, public and abysmal track record she has, I don’t know how she’ll escape some of the WORST attacks that can be made against her as a person and a potential leader.

That's so funny that you could safely park a care with one in Pittsburgh's Shadyside or Oakland neighborhoods. The lefties wouldn't get it; they'd think you were on their side.

Just for laughs, I passed out some packets of grape Kool-Aid with John Kerry stickers on them in 2004. People on our side had a great laugh. People on the other side were happy they were getting free Kool-Aid.

The letter “C” would have been more appropriate.

Here is how you do it. Just code the logos for equal height:

< IMG SRC= "location of H logo" height="333">< IMG SRC= "location of O logo" height="333">
