It reminded me of something that did the rounds a few months ago: this humourous slideshow commentary from the New York Times, examining the ‘hidden messages’ in this year’s candidate logos.

This piece reckons the NYT got it wrong on Obama’s logo though, dubbing his, in all its variations, “the hardest working logo”.
