LogObama

Man, I know this has been kicked around again and again, but ya gotta give it up to PrezElect O' (not Oprah) on his logo.

I have it as the wallpaper on my phone and plan to keep it there thru the election.

Its just cool. And when it comes to political posters, its FECKIN' cool. I have not seen anything like it since the height of the Soviet Political Poster of the 1930's.

Sol Sender and his team are to be commended, but the man himself should be proud of the bold stance and acceptance of simple, good DESIGN. I hope he carries it with him to da house.

And props to my boy Shepard Fairey for his Hope, Progress, etc. work. Love that guy; from OBEY to his unique form of visual protest in the URBAN GALLERY©. He gets it and we are all better for it.

Finally, ya gotta luv the fact that folks ain't takin' down their shit! I don't mean XMas, I mean Obama '08. I love it. Is' like a Ha Ha to the past FADministration.

And like me leaving my Raider shite up long after another losing season.

GObama and GO RAIDERS!

Cheers.
