All of the Problems With Joe Bidens Logo, According to the Haters
Joe Biden is in. After months of speculation and dozens of other candidates entering the race, the former vice-president launched his campaign for president Thursday. With it came all the trappings of a campaign launch, including a video, a website, merch, and a new logo.
And what a bad logo it is! At least, that seems to be the prevailing sentiment on Twitter, a platform thats notoriously anti-Biden. Here are the problems people have:
Its no secret that Biden plans to make a considerable effort to remind people of his association with the first black president of the United States. His logo is even doing some of the work for him, aping the circular shape of and red stripes of Obamas logo.
With the e of Joe in red and the lack the letters vertical line, the logo makes it look like Bidens first name is Jo.

If logos have no real effect on votes, why do campaigns spend time and money on them?

I like them. Think they're at least as good as the other Democratic candidates' logos.
