Logo designers must have been willing to give up pretty much everything for this job. To do Obama’s logo design for the 2008 campaign. Obama signs, buttons (Julia - an American friend who recently visited - got really cool comments on it running around with it in Vienna) and his homepage were a huge attraction in this year’s campaign. Generally you can say that his campaign did a good job in encouraging people to get involved.

O’s success was build on a firmly structured design and was his basement whenever he appeared. He burned the O into all our retinas successfully. The O will be remembered. For sure.

Here a good read: The New York Times interview withSol Sender, the graphic designer behind Obama’s campaign.

Update (Dec 13th): If with that great interview you’d like some more visuals served. Check out this walk-thru of logo ideas that were offered in the final stage of finding the perfect brand for a moving candidate.

Note to myself: I turned into this huge Obama blog. This was one of the last posts. Hold your fingers crossed.

Don’t you feel relief when reading such a headline? If, everyone of us does a good work, we will have no longer browse through badly designed websites (I have this theory that there will always be bad Frontpage 1990s design around no matter what evolution strikes the Internet), hardly appealing Microsoft Word (This is not a publishing tool for posters or any kind of higher quality agglomeration of text) and a thoughtless use of Comic Sans. Don’t you hate that font too? Does it bug you every time you spot one poster saying: PARTY in Comic Sans?

Hey folks. Was ich euch heute zeige, soll euch aus den Socken hauen. Auf der einen Seite sollte es schon alleine vom Design umwerfend sein, und auf der anderen Seite zählt natürlich auch der Fakt, dass das Ende naht. Voilà… Das Original in großer Auflösung. Klick mal auf den Flyer. Woohooo ein neuer Effect auf meiner Page. “Geil, woz?”

Well, a bunch of days ago I featured Kiara, and now I am so self-absorbed that I am going to feature myself. That’s what has been keeping busy during art class this year. Lovely, isn’t it?

Whoever said that, seems to be a jerk. The weeks are rushing by and senior prom is ante portas (Greez@latins!).
Now you know what’s keeping me that busy. Visit our prom homepage.
Besides, all the cool media stuff I made for the prom’s going to show up in the next few days. I am excited :)
