Obama’s Logo: A New Dawn Over America
The 2008 presidential race may just be getting started, the competition is heated and the rivalries are strong, but the award for best logo was won when Barack Obama and his team of creatives designed the beautiful logo that he is running with.
I have mentioned in a couple of posts now that even though it may seem silly it is often important to develop a story for your logo. This way you are more easily able to verbalize yourself with an image.
I believe that Obama has written an exceptional story with his logo. One that is short and sweet but incredibly detailed. Obama’s logo’s story is that there is a new dawn over America.
If you aren’t following the primaries or nominations, because you don’t care or don’t live in America, Barack Obama’s platform is about change. He wants to change the politics of this country, he wants to change the mood and financial status of the people, he wants to change the face of America. I don’t support Barack Obama personally, but his logo explains exactly what his intentions are.
Barack may or may not be the change the country needs, but I can gaurantee you that if his candidacy is as strong as his logo he shouldn’t have any problems winning this election.

From the advertising stand point, I think his logo and its story are great! It is a good clean simple logo, and the story supplements it well.
From the voting stand point, it does not sway my vote. Only clear ideals and a good platform will get that.

Excellent point. It would be hard to suggest that a logo could win a presidentail campaign for somebody. I am just suggesting that if he can perform as strongly as his logo portrays he should do quite well.
