The New Logo...whaddya think?

[Ken Burch]

Poll question: The New Logo...whaddya think?

[RandomThoughts]

1. Looks like the top of a beer can.

But what else would you expect.

[Ken Burch]

3. That's it...the party should've started giving away BEER!

They could call it "Demobrau" or something.

[RandomThoughts]

5. yea, they really should have at least in my case.

Although for those that help many people, best to give them a pass for bigger reasons.

[pintobean]

16. It does

It also looks like the place the beer ends up.

[AdHocSolver]

19. Maybe this is where the genius who came up with this logo got the idea...

...after too much booze.

Great and appropriate picture.


:toast:

[csziggy]

2. Could be improved n/t

[Waltons_Mtn]

4. I think they were trying for D for "Drive".

The whole D to go forward R for to go back into the ditch thing.

[Ken Burch]

7. They needed to have a logo of a donkey shifting gears, then.

The other problem is that, in the American school grading system, "D", as we all know, means "below average". Even Republicans will have picked up on THAT one days ago.

[calimary]

6. Oh yeah. THAT'LL fix everything.

:banghead:

[JI7]

8. what did the old logo look like ?

[MrModerate]

9. Couldn't do "whatever," although that's about all the new logo deserves.

Hard to quantify how much such things matter (they ain't selling corn flakes, after all), but that's one pure-dee shitful design.

[JDPriestly]

10. It's ugly and boring.

[westerebus]

12. It is not.

It is completely boring and unaffectionately ugly.

Don't pander just because it has money.

Tell it like it is. :+

[madamesilverspurs]

11. It's hard to imagine

anyone being delighted with it. Other than the Republicans who will use it for target practice, that is.

13. They're probably having it printed on urinal screens as we speak.

n/t.

[blondeatlast]

34. In another poll, Velveteen Ocelot offered "resounding meh."

That describes my feelings perfectly.

[Skip Intro]

14. Is the donkey gone? I liked the donkey.

[RandomThoughts]

15. .

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Looks like a public transit /street sign.

Nice, just not for a party symbol

[AdHocSolver]

18. This is the worst, stupidest logo they could make. Get rid of it, pronto.

It looks like a target. It isn't simple. It is simple-minded.

Democrats are already targets to the right wing.

A good logo should bring a positive image to the viewer. This presents nothing but a blank thought of "What is that supposed to mean?"

A logo that doesn't make an immediate positive impression is a total waste, and this logo definitely does NOT provide a good positive image to the viewer.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

20. It's seriously "meh".

Visually dull, lacking in immediate punch.

[yurbud]

21. PIC: a helpful edit of the new logo:

[DailyGrind51]

22. What, so teabaggers can draw crosshairs on it?

[scarletwoman]

23. Your poll is missing the "BLECCCCCCCHHHHH!" option, so I had to vote "WTF". (nt)

[dragonlady]

24. Tell the DNC what you think, don't just vote in this poll

Go to the DNC website and leave a comment:

[Caretha]

31. I did

Although they only have a submission box supposedly for questions.

Not a question, just a suggestion...shoot the graphic artist/media professional who designed the new logo.

I apologize sincerely if the so called artist/media professional was your son, daughter, nephew, niece or grandchild. Perhaps you could get him or her a Magna Doodle drawing board to distract them.

[LiberalAndProud]

25. Leaves me cold.

The Circle-D is coldly corporate, much like Circle-C (copyright) or Circle-R(trademark). I'm told we are supposed to think of "Drive". Instead, I think of "Dumb". And the resemblance to a target has been noted numerous times. The baby blue of the D is less than inspriring.

I don't like the slogan, either. "Change that matters" is neutral and passe. It appeals neither to emotion nor reason. Things that "matter" are not necessarily good. My electrical bill "matters". It ain't good.

[lumberjack_jeff]

26. But it's new! And Happening! And replete with hidden meaning!

And it looks like a preference for "neither a nor b" on a multiple choice test.

[Rex]

27. Horrible, if you reverse the colors and replace the D with R

"change that matters" is as blah as you can get.

[Tesha]

28. It looks to me like a failing grade...

[Smashcut]

29. It's bland, corporate and represents nothing in particular

much like what the party itself has become.

In that regard, it's perfect.

[ibegurpard]

30. I couldn't give a shit about it

Next time, just roll the website redesign and logo out without any advance hype that might make people believe you have some substantive policy announcements right before an election.

[madinmaryland]

32. At least Tim Kaine has not had any Michael Steele moments. Though I would appreciate

some Howard Dean moments from Kaine.

[derby378]

36. I dunno...

Kaine reaches me as a walking, talking Michael Steele moment.

[Ken Burch]

37. We've lost two-thirds or more of the races we've fought against the 'pugs since Kaine took over.

That's worse than it would've been with anybody else we could have chosen.

Every candidate Kaine recruited has been a total disaster.

There's simply no defense for his appointment at all.

[Iggo]

33. See, now I think people are just trying to start a fight.

[TK421]

35. Option #2 doesn't even begin to cover it n/t

[tomm2thumbs]

38. May as well be an H in a circle 'Hospital Ahead' - unfortunately, group-think begets ugly logos

perhaps they need to use this on internal notepads and post-it notes and go back to the design drawing board. general public reaction overall has given it the big thumbs down

[complain jane]

39. I'd rather work on the Teabag logo.

Heh.
