Barack The Brand
Posted by Steve
I have yet to see a company or firm integrate the John McCain brand into their own identity the same way that Barack Obama's has been used in conjunction with existing business identities. The New York design firm
LOLZ
has combined its logo and the Obama "O" as sign of solidarity and self-promotion for its
unofficial Obama site
. And my favorite vinyl toy company, Kidrobot, is touting
Kidrobama
with an integrated logo (below) that juxtaposes product and candidate.
The Obama logo is designed to fit perfectly into any agenda. There's now a site,
Logobama '08
, that invites you to customize your own Obama logos, even if you're not voting for him. Check out these counter-logos
here
(bottom) and the Flickr page
here

There's even a gay-friendly version of the logo:

True. True. Barack gets it. He gets the impact of design. I've noticed bumper stickers and wondered who did the design. And I hate bumper stickers. I've also wondered if Barack himself is responsible, or if he has one hell of a design savvy PR person.
