Critics deride the updated Democrat logo, yet a logo redesign was deemed essential
The Democratic Party in the USA has unveiled a new social media profile picture, featuring a donkey design that has sparked controversy within the party. The new logo, which replaces the previous letter 'D' in a circle, has been met with criticism and mockery, with some comparing it to a pinata.
The donkey design has a long history with the Democratic Party, dating back to the 1828 presidential campaign when Andrew Jackson, the Democratic candidate, was called a "jackass" (donkey) by his opponents. Jackson embraced the image as a symbol of his strong-willed character and used it in his campaign, leading to its association with the party.
Thomas Nast, a political cartoonist who supported the Democrats, originally created the donkey symbol as a satirical representation. However, the use of the donkey design by both political parties is not entirely clear; it might be because they didn't understand the joke or chose to co-opt the insults.
The new logo features a donkey facing right instead of left, causing some to read symbolism into the change. Some critics have questioned the priority of creating a new logo while opposing Donald Trump's presidency, with some arguing that the party should focus on more pressing issues.
The absence of the color red in the new logo is causing dissatisfaction among some Democrats, who feel that the color is synonymous with the party. However, the donkey design has more character than the Democrats' previous official logo, which was seen as oversimplified.
The new logo also features three stars instead of four, which some see as a ratings drop compared to previous designs. Despite the controversy, the donkey design has more character than the Democrats' previous official logo, which was a letter 'D' in a circle.
Elsewhere, the creation of a new logo has not been the focus of attention. The Jaguar Type 00 made its controversial debut at Paris Fashion Week, while Audi billboards show effective methods for selling an electric car without resorting to the White House lawn. An article on Severance prop design showcases fictional branding that is as effective as real-world examples.
