US Election campaign logos

Nice analysis (in cartoon panel form) of the various candidate logos for the 2008 Presidential election. (via Chairman Gruber).

I have to ask: at what point do Americans get tired of red, white, and blue? I count three deviations in that slideshow, only two of which are for the current election. And one of those leavening colours? Beige.

Sheesh. By the end of the election, America will be so saturated with red, white and blue that the population will be suffering retinal pigment loss, and they’ll only be able to see green things.

Wait — that’s good, right?

“Mabel, what are these things?”
“I think they might be trees, Norman.”
