HAIL CTHULHU! Twitter Users Mock GOP Convention Logo's Weird Design

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Republican National Committee unveiled its official logo for next year’s presidential convention in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday, and the unusual design has some people saying “ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”

The logo features the GOP elephant mascot in front of a large crown, the symbol of Charlotte, the Queen City, which is where President Donald Trump is expected to accept the nomination to seek his second term next August.

But much of the crown is obscured, leaving what looks like a tangle of arms ― or perhaps tentacles ― ominously emerging from behind the elephant.

Some people thought the logo looked like an elephant in front of an octopus. Others saw a mind flayer from the hit Netflix show “Stranger Things.” Still others thought it looked like the logo for Hydra, a terrorist group in the Marvel Universe. And many saw Cthulhu, one of the dreaded Great Old Ones from the tales of early 20th-century horror author H.P. Lovecraft:

1. Hail Hydra!

2. The blue thing looks like a crown - I guess they think it's a "coronation"

4. Everything in Charlotte is Queen themed. It still is creepy but not as nafarious

9. Yes, the stylized crown is the city's official logo. It reflects the fact that the city

was named after King George III's wife, whose name was Charlotte.

3. WTAF is that thing?

I notice they actually managed to make that elephant look mean. And I can’t justify that blue in the middle of his (clearly a masculinization, right?) legs with anything behind it.

Sure as hell looks like Elephantman vs Octogargantudon. Go Octo!

6. Mean is exactly what the gop is

You can’t have a platform that any position on nearly any topic is succinctly summed up by a “fuck them” or “fuck it” and still come off as nice or caring.

7. Yep.

5. It looks like the Mind Flayer from Stranger Things

8. They're having it in Charlotte so MF45 can sleep in his own bed every night

OT I know, but what a lazy-assed snowflake he is.
