Maybe that Dem logo should be changed again?

I mean, yes, it emulates a bullseye and not, thankfully, a gun sight, but still, is that really the message we should be sending?

8. Seriously? It doesn't look like a target?
Logo designs are ALWAYS deliberate because of the imagery they invoke. Always.

I just wonder what message they were really trying to send? :shrug:

12. But that would mean we'd have to change the party song from "Happy Days Are Here Again"
to

"The World Is A Circle,
Without a beginning,
And nobody knows
where it really ends".

3. Bring back the donkey, for Thor's sake
Natalie Foster and Tim Kaine should be kicking themselves over this epic fail of a logo idea.

4. The only message that logo sends
is that the Democratic party is so devoid of creativity that the best they could do for a logo was to steal it from The Fantastic 4.

That thing was pathetic when they first proposed it and it's pathetic now.

We don't need to make it any easier for them to aim at us.

21. He only has ONE "O" in the name.
Face it, the logo is a complete failure. Nothing associated with a 64-seat loss in the House should ever be kept.

14. The problem was NEVER with bulls eyes or crosshairs in and of themselves
The problem is/was putting them on a map over specific districts AND then using language like "let's reload" and talking about "second amendment solutions."

The symbols in and of themselves are not bad.

This logo offers significant opportunity for improvement.

19. It looks like a circle with the letter 'D' in it.
Calm down.
