New Dem logo and merchandise... Reload?
I mean, seriously, have you seen these T-shirts and hats? Don't we have enough trouble with dangerous right-wing fascist lunatics without wearing targets in the middle of our chests and on our foreheads?



And yes, the reich-wing has already noticed the resemblance (no link necessary, no need to drive traffic their way)

1. I like the logo! If anything, it reminds me of a super hero emblem

Green Lantern is hella popular right now (and will be more popular when the movie comes out in the next year or two), and I think this design is a smart wink to the younger liberal voters.

I say GO WITH IT!

14. Best case for it so far
Edited on Fri Sep-17-10 12:34 PM by Capitalocracy
I'm being facetious with the target thing, of course, I don't really care that much about the symbolism or logos or whatever, I'm more interested in policy. Maybe I should be, but whatever. I just found it amusing... OK, now the Dems are going around with targets on their chests and on their foreheads, great

Edit to add: Actually I think what they might be getting at is a tacit reminder of the D for Drive R for Reverse thing.

4. Just right click my avatar and save it to your hard drive, then upload
it as your own avatar on the Options page. It's easy.

17. I like that one very much, too. There are a number of variations.
The concept remains the same.
