laceym says:

Let’s talk campaign logos, shall we? Tiny, simple and usually ignored, these logos contain the very essence of the candidates, distilled into their purest form. In these logos we view their souls.

Overwrought? yes; but they are still our subject, mainly because it’ll be fast and easy to do. So! Onward and upwards!

Obama's logo has a Web 2.0 feel to it. I like McCain's logo, even without the red, white, and blue.

Osama's ^H^H^H^H^H Obama's logo - Small caps not small letters.

And I like Mike too. Great outsider telling it like it is. Never be elected but...
