- Impatient with Change: Redesigning Barack Obama’s Logo
-
Economic hardship is not something that is easy for any of us to deal with, but unfortunately, our choices are limited. The global economic crisis is a major reality and is in the collective conscience of America.
Barack Obama has not had a whole lot of time in his new position as the American President, but he has a long road ahead of him. The American people are looking to him for both hope and leadership to get us out of this mess.
As I mentioned in my last post, No We Can’t: No Hope For Obama’s Hopefull Logo things have not changed much since his inauguration. Although it has been a short span of time, the American people are notoriously impatient and fickle. Have we already lost hope in his ability to lead? Has the ideals of Hope and Change collapsed like Lehman Brothers and AIG?
I also threw it out to the logo community to see if anyone could come up with a new logo concept for Mr. Obama that is a bit more pessimistic then the logo we have grown to know. I didn’t get any responses with logo designs, so Logo Blog decided to make its own changes to Barack Obama’s logo. Here at Logo Blog we all wish success for the new president, however here are a few zings on his logo for those who are not so happy with the current administration.
Let’ s bring a bit of light-hearted humor to a situation that is terribly bleak. Enjoy. I hope you find these humorous and we can all try to laugh in dark time. Hope is still out there and in order for things to get better, we need to have it. Take a look at ours and send us your examples! And Dont forget to vote in our poll!

The concept is good, but this logo falls flat; especially considering your disappointment. Perhaps a darker, stormy feel would convey the lack of leadership. The doom on the horizon could be emphasized in the background with art that symbolize a storm approaching. So, maybe stay away from the white backgound. I like your idea of keeping Barack’s original logo intertwined with your new logo, and the idea of breaking the logo apart is a good one. But, make it shattering more. It will add a three-d effect creating action and motion, helping to bring your logo to life.
Just some thoughts.
