The Other Obama Logos

Dec 14. 2008

Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign was one of the most prolific and viral in American history. And never before had a logo been so prominently and massively been used in a presidental election. Designed by Sender LLC in Chicago, the logo consists of an O with the center suggesting a sun rising over fields in the colors of the American flag: Sol Sender, the creative lead in the Obama '08 logo, was recently interviewed about the strategy and process behind the project.

"You would move to China for a phone?" "Yes, you know I would." "Don't joke about that - you know I am willing to move to China if you're willing." Then I shut up. [Via Engadget] ...
