Logo 1:


Logo 2:


Logo 3:

“We did see the O as standing for something beyond just the first initial of the candidates name.”

Logo 4:

“There was an idea of unity that emerged, particularly when we began to look at the red and blue, and how they intersected.”

Logo 5:

“Before we even arrived at the final identity we were aware of developing a number of options that had an element that stood separate from the typography.”

Logo 6:

“We developed a lot of logos. Usually we only develop two to four, maybe five. There were fifteen, sixteen options, and we focused on three.”


THE FINALISTS:

Logo 7:



“This masking of different photos with the O shape became an opportunity to say different things in different moments… The O could contain all these different ideas, possibilities and feelings.”

Logo 8:



"There was a lot of excitement about this. People felt this was really something new, something different. It was a kind of populist expression — everyone’s excited about Obama, people are talking… (but) it was a little too far out of the box. We felt that having a little more tradition in the mark was the smart way to go.”

Logo 9:
“For me personally, this was always the one.”


Originally the stripes were kind of symmetrically expressed across the horizon, and as we went into final refinements we felt that giving it a little bit more dimension, a little bit more motion, ways to enter into it a little bit more for the viewer was a better way to go.”
