Decades of Political Design
Logoblink
has amassed a collection of
logos from every U.S. presidential campaign since 1960
. It's a fascinating collection: Howard Dean's logo from 2004 has an overly loud and kind of scrawly character that sort of recalls his manic campaign speeches. Phil Gramm's from 1996 is so bland you'll see why you don't even remember his campaign at all. The 1970s ones are all full of stripey "Spirit of 76"-style typography (and the candidates were comfortable veering from the red/white/blue color palette then, too). And back in the 60s, it was apparently fashionable to put a black-and-white duotone headshot on your campaign signs.

This is such an usefull work! Since 2001 this is my work in Brazil. Such good idea inspired me to recollect all the logos I´ve been working on.
