What is this circle with a D in it?

[BanzaiBonnie]

I'm seeing it all over now and have not seen it before the last couple of days. There's no explanation with it. It looks like some sort of corporate logo, flat and lifeless.

[Fumesucker]

1. A very cheap and unimaginative corporate logo..

Done by a HS student with MS Paint..

It's the new Democratic logo..

[TK421]

3. Don't you get it?@!!! To go forward, you put it in D!!

geez...do we have to walk you through everything around here? :sarcasm:

[OhioChick]

51. That's exactly what it reminds me of....a "corporate logo." n/t

[dragonlady]

58. Tell it to the DNC

http://my.democrats.org/ under Contact, Issues

[derby378]

71. Now that Kaine's in charge instead of Dean...

...I feel they no longer care.

[Stinky The Clown]

2. I think of it as the "Dummy" Target

I think it is a terrible logo.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. I think of it as a cattle brand.

They're gonna burn it on your butt & herd you where they want you to go.

[snagglepuss]

23. LOL.

:rofl:

[chill_wind]

32. ! LOL

:spray:

[Iggo]

39. Mooooooooo.

[Capitalocracy]

55. I wonder if anyone has it tattooed on his ass yet

[ItNerd4life]

70. Damn, that's funny. Thx for making me laugh. nt

[Ozymanithrax]

5. The shield of Captain Democrat...

That exciting new Super Hero.

[AnArmyVeteran]

6. The D is for democrats. The circle is the teabagging group surrounding us.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. The worst branding ever

That's what it is.

[BanzaiBonnie]

10. Oh crap!

Crappity, crap, crap, crap! It's hideous.


Did you know there is a plan afoot by manufacturers to rebrand High Fructose Corn Syrup by renaming it corn sugar.


So, if people don't get with the program, rebrand. Yuppers, that'll do it.

[Paladin]

11. Amen. The Absolute Worst Ever: Flat, Lifeless, Without Palpable Meaning.

A direction sign for the way the Democratic Party seems to be headed these days. And it's finding favor with those who believe that multi-dimensional chess is an effective way to deal with the knuckle-dragging right wing's advances......

[Fumesucker]

15. Can you imagine the logos that were _rejected_ though?

If this is the best they could come up with the losers must have been utterly horrendous.

[seattleblue]

45. Or maybe they were really good.

I, for one, would like to see them.

[bobbolink]

48. Oh, thanks. Like I really needed *that* in my head.

Talk about a race to the bottom!

[Jackpine Radical]

52. You mean, like a race to OUR bottoms

with the branding iron?

[bobbolink]

53. See what a good straight man I am??

:rofl:

Yeah, that image came to my mind, and I hesitated... but the naughty side of me triumphed, and I pressed "Post message"

~~gigglesnort~~

[Edweird]

8. A sign that the DLC/GOP coup of the Dem party is complete.

[Individualist]

17. +1

[snagglepuss]

28. What I find nauseating is it's similiarity to ESSO's logo.

:puke:

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. It'll get better. Next semester they cover WordArt.

[hayu_lol]

13. Now now...a lot of executive DLC talent...

and a lot of donated money was spent at a posh resort someplace to come up with this BAND AID that will, in the end, provide us with a lot of new jobs.

(do I really need a sarcasm tag?)

[Caretha]

60. LOL

yeah, my first thought was...I've had clients bring me better marketing ideas & designs they drew on cocktail napkins while dreaming of their new stationary.

[golddigger]

12. I have seen better elevator buttons.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

14. And elevator buttons inspire more action.

[Paladin]

18. Very Well Put. (n/t)

[Mz Pip]

16. The Democratic version of "New Coke."

Bad idea, nobody likes it. Let's go back to :kick:

[obxhead]

19. The big change we were promised.

[johnaries]

20. To give you a serious answer, it is the new logo for the

Democratic Party that was released Wednesday.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/sep/16/the-democrats-dim-logo/

Personally, I like the kicking donkey better, but I can appreciate the simplicity and the subtle blue shadings of the new logo.

[Tesha]

27. I'm fairly certain, based on the way the question was phrased, that they knew that.

It is indeed a terrible logo, and will doubtless be widely parodied
by our enemies.

D with a red slash (or circle-slash) added.
D with "umb" added.
D with "ummy" added.
Defective.
Deficient.
Deranged.
Deplorable.
D...bag.

The opportunities are almost limitless.

[NYC_SKP]

21. Well don't we just hate anything and everything Democratic here on the DU?

The president, his cabinet, the party logo, what am I leaving out here?

:shrug:



I hope you'll all forgive me for going out to enjoy the day after posting this observation.

It's just too nice a day to pass up.

:hi:

[Scurrilous]

24. You forgot Bo.

It's a nice day here in Miami too. :thumbsup:

[Stinky The Clown]

29. So, can we put you down for the "insipid" appetizer? What will you have for your entre?

[derby378]

73. What's so Democratic about it?

Did any of the higher-ups consult you about the logo? They haven't asked me about jack squat.

The logo is as impotent as Rush Limbaugh in the Carribean with his Viagra lost at baggage claim. Bring back the donkey.

[RC]

22. I agree, it sucks

[TexasObserver]

25. It looks like a grade.

[PurityOfEssence]

44. About time someone said that: barely passing

Meanwhile, lengthy design sessions continue for the new Titanic uniforms. Glub.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

46. Ah! So maybe the D stands for Deckchairs?

[vi5]

26. You know how under Dean's leadership...

the DNC motivated people to bust their asses and go out and canvas and register voters and recruit candidates and support candidates in every race, and articulated a clear vision of what the democratic party stood for so that we we were able to take back the House, Senate, and the White House?

Well this is what the new leadership decided to do instead of that.

Hooray us!!

[Karmadillo]

30. Flat and lifeless? That would make it a perfect logo for the Dems.

nt

[Autumn]

31. Well if the republicans put a slash through it

it would mean No Democrats, pretty good for a bumper sticker for the pukes. It's supposed to be the new Democratic Party symbol. Me? I am a Donkey. Fuck the circle D.

[IDemo]

33. It reminds me vaguely of this oldie ->

[Vinca]

34. It stands for "depressed."

[pintobean]

35. It's going over like a turD in a punchbowl.

[Drunken Irishman]

36. The D stands for: Don't you people have anything better to do than whine about a logo?

[pintobean]

37. Not really, no.

Do you have something better to do than whine about whiners?


Or marching up and down the square?

[Drunken Irishman]

38. Well at least we know you can whine about a logo and my whining at the same time...

Maybe you can pick another ridiculous thing to complain about. Hey, I hear Pres. Obama hasn't dyed his hair!

WTF is up with that?

[pintobean]

40. Most whiners can multi-task

as long as it's whining about multiple things.

I have more gray than Obama, so I don't really care.

[Drunken Irishman]

62. I'm glad you're capable of multitasking your whining...

Maybe you guys can outsource it next.

42. This is being hit by people

It was at 5 recs last I looked. Still on the Greatest Page as I type this. I came to the post, and it was down to 2 recs. I just reced it and it stayed at 2.

The memo must have been sent out late. :eyes:

[DainBramaged]

75. The hall monitors have arrived....

:puke:

[LWolf]

47. It's a target. nt

[Tumbulu]

63. It looks like that to me, too (nt)

[madinmaryland]

49. There are a lot of Dallas Cowboys fans here.

:P

[KamaAina]

50. Does that mean the repukes' symbol would be the same as the one for a registered trademark?

:shrug:

[yurbud]

54. PIC: my improvement to the bland logo

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x9163717

[Mushroom]

56. A symbol of rebellion

It's a normal reaction to stuffy teabaggers and godbaggers. Can't we all just find the silver lining and run with it?

:hippie:

[eppur_se_muova]

57. D'oh !! nt

[rove karl rove]

59. boring

two whole whopping colors, white and blue, and even the shade of blue is off - should be a lot darker, looks like a blue dog's logo to me.

more color and geometrics would help it a lot.

[SidDithers]

61. My, what a genuine question...nt

Sid

[BanzaiBonnie]

64. Sheeesh, what a hubub. Sorry about that.

I got my answer from the first few replies, then went and looked it up. Yes, it's the new symbol for the DNC.

[firedupdem]

65. What happened here?

Did DU and OET merge?

[JNelson6563]

66. Remarkable isn't it?

:wtf:

[SoCalDem]

67. It's the next logical progression from this one

©

[KamaAina]

68. Congress' midterm grade

:P

[derby378]

74. +100

:applause:

[guardian]

69. stupid logo

Looks like something from World War I. Verrrrrrrrry progressive...NOT!

[Greyhound]

72. Don't worry, they'll fix it later.

[derby378]

76. If you're on Facebook, and you don't care for the new logo...
