Graphic designers say Ted Cruz's logo looks like a burning flag

[Liberal_in_LA]

The logo Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) selected for his 2016 presidential campaign has left some graphic designers baffled.
Cruz unveiled the symbol on Monday when he announced his White House bid and immediately social media lit up with posts comparing the image to either a tear or an upside down burning flag.
Others pointed out the similarity of Cruz's logo to the symbols for the Al Jazeera news service, the satiric Onion newspaper, and the flame representing the Tinder dating app.

1. Or a red, white & blue Al Jazeera logo

[hifiguy]

8. My absolute FIRST thought!

[justiceischeap]

11. When I first saw it yesterday, that's the first thing I thought.

You gotta wonder if the logo designer did it on purpose... probably not.

2. Idk what it looks like, but ole Teddy is standing like a

a toddler who has to pee.

[treestar]

24. and the shot is from far enough back

you can't really tell it's him. To me it looks more like Mittens.

[giftedgirl77]

32. I know he's taken at least one public speaking class...

Hell he's an attorney for crying out loud, doing the pee pee dance in a public forum is frowned upon generally.

[Cleita]

3. I think it was meant to be a candle flame but it fails. eom

[Vinca]

4. It looks like a teardrop to me. American tears if he was ever elected.

[Mariana]

6. That's what I see. nt.

[underpants]

5. I see Paul Stanley (KISS) upside down or pandering to flaming Teabaggers

One man's opinion

[Miigwech]

7. He said it

..."The whole world is on fire"

[KamaAina]

9. No, it looks like this

[uppityperson]

12. o.m.g. eom

[Liberal_in_LA]

13. lol

[treestar]

25. that's good!

[riversedge]

27. ha ha. great.

[Wella]

10. Is his wife still a high-paid employee of Goldman Sachs?

That's all I care about.

[KamaAina]

18. She has taken a leave of absence

which is why Rafael signed up for -- wait for it! -- Obamacare! (Apparently COBRA is too complicated for him. )

[Wella]

19. A leave of absence.....as if that changes their loyalties

We know you're Goldman Sachs, Mrs. Cruz.

[Shrike47]

26. Next thing you hear, she'll be baking cookies.

[madinmaryland]

14. The slogan is "Reigniting the ...."

Makes sense, but if you look at it a little deeper, it kind of looks like Donald Trump's hair is on fire in a windstorm!!

[meow2u3]

15. Courageous conservatives? Oxymoron alert

Isn't "courageous conservative" like "jumbo shrimp" or "freezing hot"?

[Segami]

16. ClipArt maybe....

OR







Hmmmm,.....looks pretty much the same to me.

[Auggie]

28. Wow ... that's a blatant rip-off.

[Rex]

17. It's a drop of oil wrapped in our Stars and Bars!

Everything about Teddy screams popinjay. His vanity is vain.

[Generic Other]

20. It's a religious symbol of the holy spirit

Means he was baptized in the holy spirit with fire. Tongues of fire. Anointing with Crisco. Speaking in tongues. Here we go!

[Delphinus]

22. Are you serious?

On another thread somebody linked Mike Pence to Ted Cruz's father that they are both Dominionists.

[Generic Other]

23. It fits the Cruz god-complex

The book of Acts describes the Holy Spirit descending on the apostles at Pentecost in the form of a wind and tongues of fire resting over the apostles' heads. Based on the imagery in that account, the Holy Spirit is sometimes symbolized by a flame of fire. --Wiki

21. Perhaps it represents the petro-goo which he liberally slathers into his hair

Just imagine if it were paired on the ticket with a big blob of Santorum. Delicious!

[pangaia]

29. Now, please don't jump on me for this but,

a little 'side boob?'

[valerief]

30. It absolutely does--a candle's flame.

I wonder what white male GOP prez candy will have a burning bra logo for his campaign. Only it will mean the opposite of the feminist meaning.

[yuiyoshida]

31. Seriously it looks like a Tear drop...

Which we would all have, if he were to some how win. But, he will drop out eventually, because the Republican party will probably shun him, and push someone else to the top, front and center.
