Heidi, I did some years of CI consulting, and #logo creation.

If you are not going for some dangerous form of Guerilla marketing, this is a bad idea.

Not, b/c it is not well done graphically.

A logo has to be distinctive from the ones of competitors, among other things.

Let following juxtaposition speak for itself:

Blue is also difficult.

Yes, and this needs to be done by a graphics designer.
And they need a briefing.

#LogoDesign for @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

Used to, but lost contact IRL and, since the takeover, on the #DeadBirdSite.

I know there are quite some #artists amd @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews s here in the #Fediverse.

I guess it is a question of giving such a request the necessary reach through boosting.

I'm confident that the 2 posts are enough to start a discussion with a designer.

Really needs a graphic designer, the ones submitted so far are...well I don't have a way to make it sound like they're ok. They're just not very good and you can tell it's just people puttering with software.

(2/2)

The GQP has been identified with the African elephant for ages.

In my opinion:

This ancestor needs to look distinctly (brown not grey).

The GQP and TFG have all but usurped the Stars and Stripes. A powerful message.

The Mastodon needs to look ferocious and (more) powerful, sort of like the one in the 1st pic.

OFC blue is THE Dem color.
We should revitalize the #BlueWave / #BlueTsunami.

It is graphically challenging to integrate.

@HistoPol
only half joking here...

Anybody up for making a logo of a mastodon surfing the Blue Tsunami?

@gfjacobs

You cut right to the chase.

Balancing these two strong images is difficult.
I can easily see a cute infant Mastodon surfing a wave on a surfboard. But this campaign must exude strength and a #YesWeCan spirit. It mustn't look cute.
It must look threatening to TFG.

@HistoPol @gfjacobs Sorry, the Mastodon critter is rather charming and in fact, cute. The image can be powerful and still representational. I understand messaging and also how not to corrupt an existing logo. Take a look yourself at some Mastodon merch.
