It wouldn't be an election season without a full-on Internet-fueled art-school-esque critique of a candidate's logo. This week's victim: Hillary Clinton!
I'm running for president. Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion. –H https://t.co/w8Hoe1pbtC
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) April 12, 2015Along with her campaign announcement on Sunday, Clinton showed off her new logo—a big blue H with a red arrow striking through it, pointing to the right. Of course, the Internet freaked out and issued a torrent of snark-laden reactions to the design.
Critics commented on everything from the direction the arrow is pointing to other logos it reminds them of (cough, FedEx, cough) and of course made some other super-tangential-oddball associations.
What do you think of the design? Is it actually bad, or do people just have it out for Hillary?
If you turn the Hillary Clinton campaign logo sideways and drive over it with your car, you get a speed boost. pic.twitter.com/gunMmrT2Op

Hillary's logo is better rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Equality is going down. pic.twitter.com/79zA0xvuBr

My first reaction to the Hillary logo is that it looks like it belongs on a 90s Nautica windbreaker pic.twitter.com/mFo9CPYvyq
