Democratic Party Steals Logo From the Pizza Place

The Democratic Party unveiled a new logo this morning, and, seeing the new insignia for the first time today on the party's revamped website, I thought it looked familiar.

Not without reason. It suspiciously resembles the logo for the pizza place where I used to work in St. Louis--a small independent chain called Dewey's Pizza, based in Ohio.

Here's the new Democratic Party logo:

1. I find the resemblance to be minor
Aside from the circled D, the resemblance ends.

You know who stole a logo?

Christine O'Donnell

See if these don't match.

The Dunkin Donut font and colors match her name on posters during her victory speech.

Every time I see her victory speech run, even as background footage, I want a donut.

3. It's logical: D follows C
Personally, I think it's lame.

4. Not even close. Not like the burger(?) stand Weedies that was really close to Wheaties' logo.
They tried to get away with it saying .." You don't expect cereal here."

That's not the point. The graphic art is the point.

5. What both have in common is mediocrity and a pedestrian
skill set delivering that half baked 'graphic'. They used our money to pay for that 'work' as well. A circled D, 100,000 dollars please. It's a logo! Wow!
Typical Kaine, a dull and forgettable thing.
