Rick Santorum 2016 - logo alert!

[josieposy]

This is the one on his website. He has an announcement coming (presumably of the presidential type) this afternoon.

[IIOY]

It looks like Ricky Santorum.

[omgzombies]

Considering my absolute abhorrence of Santorum, the logo is actually not that bad. I only throw up in my mouth a little bit when reading his name. The eagle is a nice distraction.

[pixy0stix]

It looked like a vulture to me at first.

Patriotism fail on my part.

I was thinking more like an attempt at a phoenix rising from the ashes of his last campaign.

Swooping in to save your freedom.

Well, I suppose a logo featuring something from the animal kingdom is appropriate, given how much he likes to talk about bestiality.

[mbcdefg]

The eagle looks like he's shrugging. 

[bugandbibs]

I am not inspired.

On my screen that looks like a bright pink eagle... do you guys see a red and white or pink and white eagle?

Looks fuschia/hot pink to me. 

Maybe Rick is getting in touch with his totally-not-gay-at-all-just-really-appreciate-unconventional-colors side.

Yeah, might be a little stereotypical, but a big pink eagle seems very South Park pro-gay candidate to me! Considering he doesn't think the right to privacy extends to (homo)sexual acts, that is pretty bold.

According to my highly scientific RGB to CMYK to PMS, it's PMS 192 C. Which is definitely a pink-red, not a true red.

Red is hella-tricky to match on the web. The PMS color for print generally does not translate well when doing a direct PMS to RGB or HEX.

[ringstrue]

It's totally pink.

Is "Rick" a mite smaller than the last name? It looks like an accident.

[nomad100]

Oh lookie! He's the wind beneath the wings of MURICA.

[thebulldog]

This just reminded me of the Dan Savage campaign on santorum....and didn't Rick at some point have a committee or something where the acronym spelled something sexual...to the point where you couldn't make it up.

Is this going to be like that damn dress again?

a nerd says what?

Dude, I spent MONTHS analyzing and debating Pantone Red colors. Re-branding a university does crazy things to you.

I thought it said "lego report" and we were getting presidential campaign lego sets.

All I really got is a shitty picture of an eagle and Rick Santorum as a candidate. Disappointed!

How awesome would that be? Little minifig Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and Hillary Clinton with little lego podiums. Maybe a minifig Gwen Ifill to moderate.

[josieposy]

Why are we not working on any of these campaigns??!!!

[dawnzersong]

The last time he ran, the Duggars did a lot of stumping for him. I wonder if he will welcome their involvement this time around?

Barbie pink.

[redheadbaker]

Apparently, he officially announced today. Daily Kos' comment was, "We're going to need a bigger clown car."

I read this to DH and he totally understood it. LOL!

I know the perfect campaign song to go with that logo!
