What if the H logo were different colors?

[edhopper]

I was just curious about how it would look with a different color scheme.
I think it does have a different impact. I don't think there is a political content in these, or there is only the ones we perceive.

1. No matter what color it is, it looks like a "this way to the hospital" sign.

It's just not a very good design - it's blocky and graceless and looks like a street sign.

[VScott]

3. Glad I'm not the only one who thought that

12. WOW! I was just going to post: No form, bad design and looks like a Hospital street sign.

[sammythecat]

29. That thought never occurred to me

Now that you mentioned it though, yes!, that is exactly what it looks like. I'll never be able to think anything else when I see it.

They better be careful about posting that thing along any roadway. Not every emergency is taken to the hospital in an ambulance by a driver who knows the way. Beside the obvious tragedy of anyone's condition made worse or even dying because of delayed treatment, I can easily imagine lawsuits and huge embarrassment to her campaign if someone died because they took the wrong route to the hospital.

2. As a logo designer I say the arrow is too static ...

To hell with the colors or direction. It needs fluidity.

[tularetom]

4. Now you're just stirring the shit

Its kind of dopey looking regardless of color.

[dissentient]

5. Those look bad too. It is the logo itself that needs changing.

Using the blue color on the arrow part softens it somewhat, and is better than the red on blue color, but that doesn't address the core issue.

[Takket]

6. reminds me of this shirt...

[jberryhill]

26. Yep

I couldn't care less about the logo, but that will be the obvious parody t-shirt design.

7. Then the perpetually outraged would find something else wrong with it...nt

18. Sid, I know! But look at this by tomm2thumbs:

If she ran on her last name instead of the first, with a C instead of an H, it could be more like Obama's.

[betsuni]

19. But ... crescent moon and star plus twin towers?

Help, once you start reading diabolical secret meanings into logos, you can't stop.

[freshwest]

33. I know... They can't help themselves. They are afraid of the estrogen, LOL.

Did you see the Monford article about GOP hysteria?

Oh, they would definitely see the C as the Crescent. Just as they saw Egyptian symbolism with the O for Obama. So, BOO! On them!

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. The full logo with the script across it is not so bad.

The little tiny pics and avatars? Not a fan.

[demmiblue]

9. The blue and white logo is better than the blue and red one.

It seems to cut down on the harshness of all the angles.

This DUer did a nice representation:

With that said, I think I am done thinking about the logo!

[edhopper]

11. That is a nice looking logo

though I don't like the block H.

[edhopper]

10. I agree it's not a good logo

the concept isn't bad, but the execution is.

[dissentient]

13. I came up with a solution. If you make the arrow more curvy, it would greatly improve it.

[daredtowork]

14. Someone posted a good one in the thread

It was a bit curvy, dynamic, pointed upward like a comet swash, and had a star in it. Made me wonder where that kind of creativity was during the design discussion.

Here's the pic by tomm2thumbs:

15. Hopefully Hillary's team is paying attention to these suggestions.

[brush]

27. Since we're all disecting Hillary's new logo . . .

once we start disecting this one, I see blue "twin towers" with a red swoosh.

IMO it doesn't pass the smell test either.

[packman]

16. Dull, uninspired and a FED EX RIPOFF

I think someone should be fired for this - copyright infringement:

[brush]

28. Not even close to infringement — FedEx doesn't have copyright on arrows. nt

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. Not infringement, but does seem lame. Reminds everyone Hillary moving to the right towards the Red Party.

[edhopper]

17. The response to her logo

seems to be unanimously negative.

You have to wonder who they tested it with and who said they liked it.

[NuclearDem]

23. You have an odd definition of unanimous.

[edhopper]

24. I have not seen anyone

who likes it.

Though i haven't taken a poll.

But let's just say the reactions have been negative overall.

Have you seen a mostly positive response?

[NuclearDem]

30. There's a world of difference between "mostly positive" and "unanimously negative."

[edhopper]

32. Yes

it was hyperbole, you know exactly what i meant.
Your grammar correction is noted.

[hobbit709]

20. Arrow still points to the rightward shift of the party.

[FSogol]

21. "Lots of focus on HRC's campaign logo because the issue working people care about most of

all is graphic design." Frank Conniff

for everyone harping about it.

[Vinca]

22. The logo is the least of our worries, but it does look like a hospital sign.

[KittyWampus]

25. someone posted a version with red uprights and a blue arrow >>>>

it was 100% better.

I don't care for the icon but was amazed how much better the color switch made it.
