2008 US Presidential Campaign logos – LogoBlog Poll
It’s that time of the week again when we announce our winner for the LogoBlog Poll. Last week’s poll was about the upcoming 2008 Presidential Campaign logos. We asked our viewers and readers to vote for their favorite logo, out of the 5 nominations from the 2008’s US Presidential Campaign. We narrowed our selection of 2008 Presidential Campaign logos to those of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Jim Gilmore, Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards.
Among them, Barack Obama’s campaigning logo got the highest percentage of votes, thereby winning the week’s LogoBlog Poll. His logo got 42% of votes whereas, Clinton’s, Giuliani’s and Edward’s got 13%, 21% and 17% respectively. Jim Gilmore’s campaign logo received a disappointing 8% of the total votes.
Without a doubt, Obama’s presidential campaigning logo was the best in the bunch and probably one of the best so far. Thus, it isn’t a big surprise to see Barack Obama logo win this poll. On the other hand, the response to the Clinton campaign logo was surprising. Despite having a strong design, Clinton’s logo did not even manage to grab the second place partly due to the slogan ‘For President’ in it. Goofy, isn’t it? Don’t we all know that Hillary is running for President? Duh!
As for the winner, Obama’s logo is the only logo in the campaign that has a theme of a new horizon on America. When others were busy trying to tell people that they are running for president, Obama’s campaign intelligently defined his presidential motives in their logo, while also advertising the campaign.
Congratulations to Barack Obama’s Presidential logo for winning the LogoBlog Poll.

I am very proud of my son, Sol Sender, for creating Obama’s logo. His new company is called Sender LLC.

I can’t believe you didn’t include John McCain.
His logo perfectly matches the candidate — the black box along with the yellow/gold star that is centered between tapered lines implies military strength (that star makes one think “General” instantly. You can imagine it embrodered in gold thread on his shirt) yet the font for the copy “John McCain” is smartly chosen to give balance to that strength. It’s a transitional font that is neither serif nor san-serif. It has nice readable lines that flow smoothly over the black background.
I heard an interview on NPR recently in which the commentator said John McCain’s font is the Armani of all the political fonts this season. I think he was right on.
