Explaining the New Democratic Logo

By Jonathan Witt on 9.21.10 @ 6:07AM

The official announcement suggests a party increasingly unmoored from truth and reason.

The new Democratic logo is so bad that the intellectual rot in the official announcement went largely unnoticed. Consider the fifth and sixth paragraphs:

I'm sure you'll also notice our new look. Some may think: it's just a logo -- it's just a brand. Well I don't believe the Democratic Party is a logo or a brand -- we are much more than that. We are Democrats. We create change that matters. Ours is a party of ideas and ideals, of policies and people, history and purpose.

So call it what you will -- this new identity for our party captures the spirit that unites us all. Democrats -- all of us -- are working for the change that matters.

To grasp how deeply the rot extends here, imagine you have a ne'er-do-well nephew who has come to live with you and has just run up a bill on your credit card, a bill so large that your children's children's children might eventually be able to pay it off if they all become celebrated brain surgeons with a penchant for thrifty monastic life. The reality of your financial situation is just sinking in when your nephew calls you at work and says he has a big announcement for you when you get home.

When you walk through the front door, "Ta dah!" Beaming, the spendthrift hands you a new family t-shirt like the one he's wearing. The slogan on it reads, "FINANCES THAT COUNT!"

Naturally, you're speechless. The kid has run up a debt beyond imagining, and he's addressing the problem with a t-shirt and an idiotic slogan.

Sensing your lack of enthusiasm, your nephew rushes to the shirt's defense. "Some may think: it's just a t-shirt -- it's just a brand," he says. "Well, I don't believe this family is a t-shirt or a brand -- we are much more than that."

Now at least you have an explanation for the insane credit card bill the kid ran up: He's taken a blow to the head. You know this because no human being with an I.Q. north of, say, a Shetland pony's would argue that a new t-shirt isn't just a new t-shirt because, well, your family isn't a t-shirt.

But the kid isn't done yet. "We are Us!" he exclaims. "We create change that matters. Ours is a party of ideas and ideals, of policies and people, history and purpose."

Somewhat recklessly you decide to test the blow-to-the-head theory by engaging the kid in a rational conversation. "Well, you did create change that matters. You screwed up our family finances as far as the eye can see. You talk about ideas and ideals. But all kinds of people have ideas and ideals. Wylie Coyote had ideas and ideals. And has there ever been a party in history -- good, bad or ugly -- that wasn't made up of 'policies and people, history and purpose'? If you want to talk about change, name some concrete and specific ways you're going to change your idiotic behavior, your 'policies and people,' your 'history and purpose,' so that I will have any rational reason to trust you with my credit card ever again."

The kid blinks, as if some internal hard drive is casting about for the appropriate sound bite. Click: the drive finds it and the lights come on again in his eyes. "Call it what you will," he continues, "this new identity for our family captures the spirit that unites us all. Us -- all of us -- are working for the change that matters."

The intellectual rot has a pedigree, of course. It reaches at least as far back as President Bill Clinton's talk of building "a bridge to the 21 century," as if the river of time had run dry and we could only ever reach the new Millennium through the sage and centralized planning of political mandarins on the left. And then, of course, there is Barack Obama who until recently had the power to mesmerize with his utterly vacuous talk of hope and change.

The gift in the new Democratic logo and its accompanying announcement is that it makes the intellectual rot so plainly manifest. The tragedy is that this is the same party whose earlier members helped to deliver such honorable lines as "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for country," and "We holds these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

But that was long ago. The new Democratic Party has abandoned the first unalienable right, seems eager to suffocate the second under the weight of a metastasizing nanny state, and has come to equate the pursuit of happiness with the pursuit of handouts coerced from the political minority. Nor are many of its members any longer comfortable with the Creator doing anything so public and political as undergirding our fundamental human rights.

Change that matters? Indeed.

God, Duty, honor, and Country. When they start acting like these items matter, then they set about to prove they matter, and demonstrate to all American's by way of examples in legislation they might matter to someone. By the way they stand to this day none of these things matter, only the power they seem to think is theirs to hold at any cost up to and including making themselves look the fools we already know they are.
The Revolution is underway and they don't even know it.

Actually, we're thinking of running an utterly inexperienced black guy with a very high opinion of himself AND affirmative-action credentials from the Ivy League.

Know anyone like that?

Alan Brooks| 9.21.10 @ 7:57PM

The Bush family has the highest opinion of itself: it thinks because Bush 41 was Reagan's veep, that it is a good a dynasty as the two Adams.
It isn't. Or wasn't
And they were born with silver foots in their mouths. Luckily for them, Carter was so incompetent he makes Bush 41 seem like Washington, and Bush 43 seem like Lincoln.

How ironic: the new Democratic party logo looks just like a target. Considering the anger of the voters going into the November elections I am surprised that the Democrats would be so accommodating.

Old Soldier| 9.21.10 @ 8:43AM

I was thinking the same thing. I might print off a big one and try to put some rounds through the "D" ring this weekend.

Dustoff| 9.21.10 @ 10:20AM

The "CENTER" of the D please. (-:

JCfromDC| 9.24.10 @ 10:36AM

If we put a little "o" inside the "D" then we will have a true dead center bullseye for all us archers out there. Sort of like the present "O" hiding behind the "D". Before this new "Circle D," they were still using Obama's at DNC-HQ, and now this is all the better they can do? As an Art Director, I have fired people for submitting such trash. Maybe we can call it the Party of Duh?

Albert| 9.21.10 @ 11:04AM

I'm going to print some of these new targets and take them to the range this weekend. Shooting has never been so satisfying! (Gun shops could sell these as real targets and make money.) On a serious note, don't underestimate the power of propaganda, and this repackaging is just that, propaganda. This kind of thing actually works for many people. And yes, such people do vote.

Defcon1| 9.21.10 @ 1:13PM

Old Soldier:
You know, I decided to follow a link to Democrats.org to get the new logo to print up for the range this weekend. Well, the site crashed Internet Explorer and had to shut down! Who Knew?

Ken Roberts | 9.23.10 @ 4:20PM

You just made my day, I shoot at the range and I will see about getting some 0f these for free from the DNC and use them for target practice , what good way to recoup some of the loses the last 20 months .
Fess up time : I do not shoot at the range but it would be a great idea. This may be the reason I might start shooting at the range . ha ha ha ha ha!

GW| 9.21.10 @ 6:09PM

How bout this for a t-shirt, Old Soldier? The new Democrat logo, with the sights of a gun zooming in on the logo. In caption: THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, EFFECTIVELY KILLED NOV 2, 2010. (or something more clever than that).

I can not tell a lie , I enjoyed that very much, loved the new designed toilet . very funny indeed

Gatoray57| 9.23.10 @ 9:06PM

I have a better idea for the Obamunists logo:
A big middle finger saluting all of America.
Maybe at the bottom they could put a catchy "Hope N Change" slogan.

Margee| 9.21.10 @ 7:11AM

I truly believe the DNC thought a snappy new logo would re-energize the college group that got behind Obama in the primaries--it worked the first time! Fool me once....

Alert1201| 9.21.10 @ 7:22AM

I'm astaunch conservative republican and I like the logo. I think I'll vote democrate this time around to show my approval.

Roger| 9.21.10 @ 7:36AM

O.D. I'm WAY Over-Dosed on Democrats.

P. Aaron| 9.21.10 @ 7:37AM

Looks like the bottom of of one of them 'low-flo' toilet bowls.

Andrew B| 9.21.10 @ 8:07AM

The Democrat's new logo is so lame that even the New Coke analogy does not do it justice. It is like a punchline more than a logo, as if a desperate ad exec dreamed it up as a joke: "OK, so we don't have...any ideas at all. How about we take the letter "d"...uh...all by itself, then we...uh...draw a little circle around it?"

I just hope that no money changed hands for this design. As a life-long Republican, I would have been happy to draw up such a bland, pointless logo for them for free.

Mattled| 9.21.10 @ 8:25AM

Shouldn't there be a (-) minus after the "D"?
D- sounds about right after giving the country FU+ for two years.

Nunya| 9.21.10 @ 6:39PM

:-) Hilarious....

Impeach Don't Wait| 9.21.10 @ 8:08PM

A "target"... "D-minus"... People could have a field day doing bumper stickers...

Redstateboy| 9.21.10 @ 8:26AM

Sort of reminds me of Obama... no substance.. just a repackaging to delude the guilable in to believing change in of itself is a wonderful thing.

Redstateboy| 9.21.10 @ 8:27AM

So they're no longer the Party represented by the JackAss?

Frank| 9.21.10 @ 1:00PM

Jackasses have always been too intelligent to be democrats.

GavInTucson| 9.21.10 @ 11:49PM

Not to mention that jackasses are hard working as well.

edo| 9.21.10 @ 9:01AM

The light blue D is alright, but the dark blue O is so thick and dark, it puts the D in miniature. So what we have is the small (emasculated) Lingam in the wide (aroused) Yoni. The Goddess will never be satisfied with a D like that, so cosmic harmony is in peril.

Dan Hirsch| 9.21.10 @ 9:31AM

No, I say Obama, the dark blue O, has the Democrats, smaller paler D, and now they can't get out! HeeHaw.

John| 9.21.10 @ 9:29AM

At first glance I thought it said "Change that mattress!" Too much meaning there.

eagles4ever| 9.21.10 @ 3:59PM

With all the bedbugs apparently around, maybe we should all change our mattresses!

Throw all the bugs out!

Louis Jenkins| 9.21.10 @ 9:31AM

What a bunch of morons. They think they can repackage shi- and sell it as chicken salad.

PaulD| 9.21.10 @ 9:50AM

It's an O and a D, and that does define the democrats perfectly: they're OD'd on power.

Petronius| 9.21.10 @ 12:04PM

In very truth. It will soon appear stamped on the pills to be distributed to Conservatives by the Health Security Administration death panels. D for Die, to all Recalcitrant Retrograde Republican Reactionary Rednecks who don't belong in Their anthill. Who then will be left to over tax? Instead of a workers paradise, they will actually get the base primitive Darwinism desired by the anarchists. Surely I jest. But I reflect the ultimate wish of the 60's radicals to banish all memory of their authoritarian parents who did not indulge their whims and fantasies of a soft life with no responsibility.

Eric Cartman| 9.21.10 @ 10:12AM

Looks like they're trying to be like the Hollywood types who just have one name or a symbol, as in "Circle D - The Party Formally Know as Democrats. On problem, though - it allows the viewer to attache whatever meaning they like to whatever D they can think of. For Example:

Obama: Debt, Deficit, Disingenuous, Disaster, Da man!,

Polosi: Decrepit, Decayed, Doctored, De-wrinkled, Deflated

Bill Clinton: Debauchery, Depraved, Degeneracy, D-cup

Harry Reid: Decomposition, Dickhead

See? So it would be: "Former president Bill Clinton (D-cup) today announced his visit to the Palyboy Mansion was a stunning success"

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Deflated) today was seen being rushed into the back entrance of Dr. Nick's Emergency Botox Infusion Center. More as the story develops."

"Senator Reid (Dickhead) just announced he is changing his name to just Dickhead. From now on, he has ordered everyone to address him as Senator Dickhead (Dickhead).

I think it works for them.

How about delusional? Democrats -- "D" stands for Delusional. Their next campaign slogan? If not, we should make it so. I think it incapsulates the party as a whole.

PS: Delusional - that's for sure.

Midwest - I agree. This new logo will work great as a Target. Shooting Therapy works for me to relieve stress induced each time I'm learn the new value of my 401K, or, I see any reference that reminds me 54% of all I earn is taken from me by government - Fed, State, Property, Habits in taxes. The 54% does NOT include: cap gains, sales, excise, hotel, rental car, etc... taxes.

Sorry, gotta run. I feel a need for therapy again.

I think the new logo is dead center accurate.
A extra large 'O' for Obama engulfing a small 'D' for the democratic party.

Dixie,
Can't we just draw the red diagonal through it?

Dixie Pixie| 9.21.10 @ 2:49PM

Another outer red circle with a red diagonal through it????

That will look good on a T-shirt.
Go for it.

rainmaker1145| 9.21.10 @ 10:39AM

It looks like someone's behind after the government got done having its way with them. Change that matters... change you can believe in... it all ties back to the campaign and the failures are what people will remember and associate with the "new brand"...

What it really is going on here is the subliminal satisfaction of liberal white guilt in continuing to act out wholesale sycophantic worship for the black man and his regime. They think that will somehow energize black voters when the reality is that black voters are (finally) waking up to the realization that they have been played for chumps by the liberals for 45 years. For 45 years the Democrats have told the black man in America that their suffering was due to white Republicans and if the black man were elevated to supremacy it would not be so and this elevation would only happen through strict voting discipline and support of the liberal cause.

So the black man traded his dignity away in favor of having his federal liberal nanny raise his children - that didn't work.

So the black man traded away his freedom to obtain an equal future in favor of affirmative action in education and ended up being played for a dummy and fed dumb information - that didn't work.

So the black man traded away his own economic future in favor of living in government-subsidized tarpaper shacks that are the modern equivalent of the barns and slave quarters they had a 150 years ago - boy, that didn't work.

Now the black man has eyes to see and what does the black man see? The black man sees a black man is President and the black man has no job and no future. The black man's children are dying in the streets because the black man let the government raise the black man's children to be gangbangers instead of responsible citizens. The black man sees the liberals took his money, took his vote and took his freedom and put the black man in jail (the modern form of slavery).

The black man sees all of this and the ones left with functioning brains know they have been had and white liberals know they have been busted, so in the ultimate Freudian slip they create a new brand that represents the "down low" the black man has been receiving for 45 years with the latest promise that the change matters because the government is screwing the black man today instead of the liberal white plantation owners of 150 years ago.

Change matters, but after 45 years the black man is left only hoping the liberals change the rubbers they have been using in this continuing rape of the black culture. They have turned the black culture into a prostitution ring and now the white liberals are justifying it by saying they haven't been gang raping the black man all these years because the black man is a whore and that means the rape isn't a rape at all. It's politically-correct to call it shoplifting.

Brian| 9.21.10 @ 11:49AM

Did anyone else notice that the 'O' is bigger than the 'D'? If I was a cynic, I would think this new logo was designed by our narcissistic president. Since I only deal with reality, I will assume this awful new logo (it is truly dull and unimaginative) was designed by the same clueless people who now run our federal government.

Summer| 9.21.10 @ 11:50AM

It's a toilet bowl flushing this country & her economy down the drain.

"Change that matters" -- Reminds me of that scene in "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?":

Pappy O"Daniel: "We need a shot in the arm. You hear me boys? In the bleepdamn arm! Election held tomorrw, that son of bitch Stokes would win it in a walk!"
Junior O'Daniel: "Well' he's the reform candidate, Daddy."
Pappy O"Daniel: "Yeah."
Junior O'Daniel: "A lot of people like that reform. Maybe we should get us some."
Pappy O"Daniel: "I'll reform you, you soft-headed son of a bitch. How we gonna run reform when we're the damn incumbent? Is that the best idea you boys can come up with? Reform?! Weepin' jesus on the cross. Thta's it! You may as well start drafting my concession speach right now."
Pappy's Staff: "Okay, Pappy."

zaks5thave| 9.21.10 @ 11:53AM

Tex Geoas you beat me to it. However a grade of D is somewhat on the high side. It must of been all that extra credit the demoncrat have done. Like the 50 mill for African stoves or the money to study African genital washing practices.

Al Adab| 9.21.10 @ 12:29PM

Since its inception with Andrew Jackson, the Democrat party (he called it the Democracy) has been increasingly focused on marketing rather than on principle. Over the years the party has changed positions more than a chameleon to follow whatever popular wind was blowing.

Strangly now, while incresingly marketing- form over substance- oriented, the positions one issues are completely out of touch with "mainstream" voters. The Democrat party is now a wholely owned subsudiary of the radical Left. That leaves them lost in their own cloud cockoo land where reality stems from wishes not from facts.

It is a sad state for a once great American institution to fall into that trap and a dangerous one for the Liberties of all Citizens.

KyMouse| 9.21.10 @ 2:03PM

A few days ago, someone at Hot Air linked to the logo of a Western clothing shop, which featured a circled "D" very much like the Democrats' new logo. I wish I could remember the name of the store. And I hope it will sue the Democratic party for copyright infringement.

Peter McGrath| 9.21.10 @ 2:37PM

I was vaguely wondering how to characterize the shear inaneness of this idiotic "new" logo for the Dems. This article helps, a lot. Thanks!

disdainedconstituent| 9.21.10 @ 3:50PM

If that new logo doesn't look like a brand, I don't know what does. I know my ass has been burned.

noneofyourbusiness| 9.21.10 @ 4:10PM

This is amazing!! Finally there is something the echo chamber in here and I agree on! That logo is just dreadful.

Even before reading the comments here the first thing that shot across my mind was that it looked like a target, and that this would likely bring howls of laughter from the crowd in here. It sure did.

And you are all sure so right on its downright crappiness. What moron designed this, and what bigger moron approved it and signed off. Heads must roll (no need to wait for November 2).

Now just on a contrarian note (because I just love to explore alternative hypotheses for the fun of it), what if there is actually intended to be a deeply profound and subliminal message hidden in this logo? Like, the new symbol is nothing more than a "D" and an "O". So the Democrats are the party of "DO" as opposed to the party of "NO"(although my first thought was, like a few in here, that it symbolized the "O"bama encircling the "D"emocrats -- but not even he can herd that bunch of feral cats :-) ).

Just my subversive 2 cents woth.

Way to go democrats.

A simple and declarative symbol, suitable for the branding iron. Look for its appearance on the faces of the voluntary serfs who constitute the Party of Serfs.

WR jonas | 9.21.10 @ 10:54PM

To think that this logo is something relevant to reality is a peek inside the hearts and minds of liberals. I was astounded that a marketing expert thought this was brilliant.
Utterly brain dead and soul less comes to mind.

The tragedy is that this is the same party whose earlier members helped to deliver such honorable lines as ..."We holds these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights ..."

Ironically, the O just gave a speech in which he left "by their Creator" out of the line.

Talk about bad timing.

Consider this, the democrats have been conditioning the welfare class for generations to do two things, cash the checks that they get from whatever agency and to push the button, punch a hole or make an "X" in the box next to the little donkey. Five weeks isn't enough time to recondition these people. The same can be said for the public sector "worker."

In a nutshell the republicans win by default. The half-wit, welfare dependant and public sector voters are confused into dysfunctionality and don't know what to do in the voting booth.

Really bad move and especially really bad timing.

By the bye, I remember the republican, "Contract with America" and what a farce that was. The democrat party completely screwed the pooch with a once in a lifetime "perfect storm" control of two of three houses of the federal government. Being an optimist by nature I'd like to see the republicans actually do something to reverse the decay of American Society but I doubt it. So far I haven't heard a word spoken about any plan that matters other than to throw out the incumbent.

When somebody starts talking about getting the US out of the UN and then getting the UN out of the US, getting the US out of NATO, Korea and Japan. Getting the USA out of GATT and NAFTA and the WTO. When somebody starts making sense wake me up.

When the RINOs and whatever democrats are left after the November bloodbath start sniveling about "bipartisanship" and all the little leftist hogwash 'cliches' that these people use when they're out of power, if somebody doesn't stand up and say, "we won the election" then I fear that all is lost.

If what these domestic enemies are doing to our nation was being done by foreign enemies, our troops would be massed at our borders, ports and bases, shipping out 24/7 to protect our sovereign (at this moment, yet, I think) nation.

It's a toilet boil. God help us to FLUSH in November and get rid of this crap.

"The gift in the new Democratic logo and its accompanying announcement is that it makes the intellectual rot so plainly manifest. "
Not only plain, but blatantly outspoken, as the Obama Folks are now calling thier Movement, "Progressive" AKA the New Left.
Slogans, Logos, all help to bring the Movement laggers out but one thing is also clear.
The USA Electorate reads them also.

The new logo reminds me of a slave brand "D" within a slave collar "O". An unfortunate depiction of human ownership.

God Bless America and America bless God.

A new logo just shows how stupid Democrats think their electorate is. Do they actually believe their base will be energized by a new logo? Actually, I retract that question. If their logo had been changed to a sickle and hammer, they certainly would be fired up.

What immediately came to mind when I saw the new logo was a dunce's cap. Here in the UK back in the 1050s and before, the class retard would be made to wear a pointy hat with a big letter "D" on it, and sit in the corner of the classroom.

So, a retard's hat or a jackass, it's all the same - you still know what you're getting!
