Does the "half flag" logo on Bush/Cheney signs bother you

as much as it does me?

I have to admit I didn't notice it until I saw this Sutton cartoon (last line):




This dog (thanks to amen1234) has the right idea.

I never noticed either.

So what are they implying with this adulterated version of our flag?
That the "lower class" doesn't count or something?

which is why Kerry has to win.

can apply to become a Canadian province.

In a PM! I am dying to post it on another site! Please

I'm with ya!

My son can't stand that neo-con stylized flag. It drives him crazy.

I never thought about the "top half/bottom half" connection but that makes sense.

And the dog is such an art critic!

Bush vs. Kerry: The Battle of the Logos



To the Editor:
Re ''What You See Is What You Get,'' by Scott Dadich (Op-Ed, Oct. 9): As a curator of prints and drawings, I know a thing or two about meaning in graphic design. The fat, crowded, sans-serif capitals of the Bush-Cheney logo connote lethargy, rigidity and intolerance, and their partisan rightward tilt is stopped in its tracks by a poorly designed flag that looks like a trio of speed bumps.


The typography of the Kerry-Edwards logo draws upon a rich history, from imperial Rome to the classical revival of the Renaissance.

If you question its weight and authority, just look at the lettering on most bank buildings.

It connotes dignity and rectitude, and its refusal to slant right or left suggests inclusiveness and centrism, as do the 50 stars on John Kerry's handsome flag.

The Bush flag's 20 stars signify privilege and exclusion, and declare unequivocally that we are a divided nation.

That's a good dog :evilgrin:

Since we're not allowed to take pictures of them.

like that?

The Rethugs would be all over them saying they had no respect for the flag, THE symbol of our country.

Why hasn't anyone said anything about this before?

Look closely. It's supposed to be ever-so-subtly shaped into a "W".

Just another Orwellian image, courtesy of today's Republican Party.


MDN

These guys are nothing if not pretentious.

I wonder why?

That dog speaks for all of us.

:kick:

which 20 states do the stars represent? the Confederacy plus Idaho and Montana?

And what is NOT TO LOVE about that BEAUTIFUL DOG!!!!!!!
