Video Flagged Dead

Obama's logo design documentary 1/2 in HD

Regardless of your political leaning I think this is interesting. Seeing the process of selling a politician from a designers perspective. Anywho, enjoy!

Nice post - thanks

Branding isn't important to many people... but i think if they'd gone with the speech bubble rather than the 'O' horizon flag icon it may have changed things. It wouldn't have been as serious or presidential...and it wouldn't have fit with Obama's personality.

MrConrads, can you mention in the description that there's HD on click through?

Ah Gotham. What a beautiful font.

This campaigns graphics were masterful.

Part 2.

Awhile back, I posted a comment on one of Obama's campaign ads sifted here that the logo must've cost the campaign a fortune. For some reason, people downvoted the comment..

In any event, I agree with Chomsky's analysis of the alleged success of Brand Obama.

You need to fix the Embed to show the HD version u have posted the SD

Reminds me of the American Standard logo adorning toilets everywhere:

Maybe it's a sign that he's getting rid of the waste in Washington?
