[Gothmog]

1. Thank you for the cartoons

[underpants]

2. It looks like a voting arrow to me

As in: Vote Here --->

Too many threads yesterday so I just thought I would post that here.

3. The sixth cartoon makes the Republicans appear more "American" than they really are...

The stars aren't aligned in the way the current Satan worshiping Republican Party likes them to be...

6. Thank You Doc!

[mountain grammy]

7. Thanks, Doc.. I had the same thought as that last one..

the arrow is pointing right? If it's made to confuse Republicans, it just might work.

[calimary]

8. So did I.

Don't like the subliminal message there.

I will say, though, that watching the coverage over the last couple of days - the very thought that there's FINALLY a viable woman candidate for THE Top Job - was just thrillilng!!! I got the "chills"!

12. I have to admit, me too. It's been a long time coming!

I honestly thought I wouldn't see a black or woman president in my lifetime, but: YES WE CAN!

10. I've been thinking about the logo since Sunday.

I dabble in design from time to time. I think that the arrow points to the right because we in the west read from left to right. I think that if the arrow pointed to the left, it would give a feeling of going against the grain, of heading the wrong direction. While we DUers would prefer going left, I think the direction of this arrow is less about political directions and more about gut-level design choices.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

13. I agree.

Visual literacy. The best design understands archetypes, deep cultural frameworks.

[mountain grammy]

14. I think you're right, so I'm ok with it.. just a bit startling at first.

and if it's confusing to some Repubs, I'm OK with that too.

[Pacifist Patriot]

17. Completely agree.

It's the direction forward on a time line, meaning it's an excellent symbol for a progressive.

Honestly didn't occur to me that it was pointing "right." LOL!

[DeadLetterOffice]

9. Thanks for the toons!

The first 2 are my favorites...

[blackspade]

15. The last one is exactly correct.
