Clinton's logo is confusing to many voters as to why she would have an image such as this representing her campaign. Voters may also view this as a conservative shift in her ideals. Many people who do not know much about the campaign may assume she has different views solely based on her campaign logo.
Clinton's supporters claim the arrow to symbolize "pointing forward." It is difficult to believe that a red, right-facing arrow could mean anything other than a shift towards conservative republican.
Despite its obvious flaws, the unique, single-letter logo is memorable in the pool of numerous campaign logos this election.
Clinton's logo has been increasing popular on social media. This image works especially well with the layout on twitter, when the red arrow arrow points directly to the message. The logo has recently appeared in a number of avatars on Facebook where users can customize the logo by placing any image in the outline of Clinton's logo to show their support. The personal approach powered by the simple, graphic logo seems to be well-recieved by the public.
Although Clinton's campaign logo does demonstrate some success on social media, overall the image of the red, right-facing arrow conflicts with her known political opinions, and can be highly confusing to voters.
It's interesting how much a simple design can influence how people think of an entire campaign. I never thought about logos being that important. It really is confusing how no one noticed this when creating the logo.
ReplyDeleteI would have never have thought that a logo so hold such an uproar over Hillary and her ideologies as a candidate. Its also interesting how more time wasn't spent in an attempt to change or fix the logo before it was decided upon.
ReplyDeleteI would not have put together the sybolism of conservatism in Hillary Clinton's logo. I agree that her logo is notable. It is simple, yet it still has an interesting and complex message. Great analysis!
ReplyDeleteI liked how you talked about all of the subtle symbols in her logo. I never would have seen all of the underlying meanings from that one drawing! It's crazy that people are able to create such powerful messages through such small drawings or symbols.
ReplyDeleteWow I never really noticed that. It is amazing what people can interpret from a simple logo. I agree with what Jackie said, its very interesting that such a powerful message can be interpreted from an arrow and an H.
