Michelle malkin noted… turn the acorn logo sideways and remove the “nut cap”.. and you have the Democrats new logo… Fitting, no?

The 'revised' version of the 'new' logo can be seen here … http://twitpic.com/2ou9ch

Should be easy enough to spray a red minus sign after the D.

I know I'm being generous, grade inflation is a major problem and I'm working on getting it under control.

Seriously though, this is it? Those guys used to be masters at using icons to trick their mindless masses in to following them. Look at Obamas magic O, and the whole hammer/sickle thing and let's not forget the crooked cross. Catchy icons was one thing they excelled at.

This is pathetic. I do notice they're moving away from the hope and change moniker. Probably a good idea.

A “D” inside an “O”?

“O.D.”???

Or just, “Odd”?

Is that a Target with a D in the bulls eye position? How appropriate!

Or did they just award themselves a “D” letter grade? Where's the “Minus”?

Is is “D” for Deficit, or just plain old Depression?

The Democrats haven't picked such a conspicuous winner since that photo of Carter picking his nose, LOL!

I hope you didn't pay much for that brand.

I'm sure it was paid with cash from the stimulus.

As for the “Change that matters” slogan. That has got to be the dumbest…marketing…slogan…ever! The Dems are distancing themselves from Obama so why would they want to have a slogan that is aligned with Obama?

1. I'm frankly surprised that they've clung to the “change” meme to use in their logo. By any reasonable assessment, “hope and change” and “change you can believe in” have seriously lost their cachet, as evidenced by the President's sinking approval numbers, Congresses abysmal approval figures, and the widespread public disdain for most of the signature legislative accomplishments wrought under the banner of “hope and change”. Usually when you're trying to turn the corner on a PR campaign which has soured, you do your very best to draw a firm “line in the sand” between the old campaign and the new one. You do that by avoiding any references to your previous failed campaign, and you do your best to push the intended audience in the direction of your new campaign. So when viewed from that perspective, I'm surprised that they've doubled down on the “change” meme.

The special elections of the past year and yesterday's primaries have showed pretty clearly that the “change” many people want is to boot any insiders out of DC. Why remind the electorate of that by clinging to that “change” meme?

2. Silly us for having unreasonably thought that the Demicans actually had something of importance to say about policy/legislative direction when they set up the round of “teaser” announcements about this on Monday and Tuesday.

3. I agree with those who've said that however much or little the Demicans paid for this new logo, it was too much. It's simplistic, and not in a good way, it's stark, harsh and visually unappealing, it looks like either a target or a bad grade, and lastly, an opposing political operative with a can of blue spray paint can make it look like a “D minus” in less than a second. Not that I'm suggesting any of you reading this do such a thing.
