Bring a fan of both design, and snark I enjoyed this.

Written by an elementary school student?

More likely a cop who has to pull security detail for campaign stops of all the candidates.

So basically Rand, Santorum and MAYBE Hillary and Cruz paid people to make logos, everybody else just went home oneday and fucked around with Microsoft Paint?

I see it all the time. Someone in their inner circle is a stellar graphic designer. They pick that crap every.single.time.....

I don't know what you do for a living so I can't comment. There is a difference between a mom and pops level operation doing that and a major campaign. I design my own cards (and I get plenty of complements on them as well. Most people think they were professionally made. . .some of them) but all my friends who own businesses or need cards design their own. Because most of us could honestly get away with just plastering our name in the middle with our job title and number.

These people have access to money and resources. Hell at the very least I would have gone to my daughter/Granddaughter's school and held a $500 dollar contest to design my logo and almost definitely came out a head. And if you're running for office and can't drop 500 dollars something is wrong. Where as for me and mine it might not break the bank or anything but we're not gonna drop that kind of cash on something we could do ourselves you know?

I'll just say I have an award winning designer at my finger tips.

As I said, this has nothing to do with money and everything to do with ego.

Once the field gets crowded, everybody in it knows that the odds are they will have to withdraw and cut their losses, so they do what they can to minimize those losses.

Besides, a crappy logo draws nearly as much interest as a nice one.

They can't even come up with catchy button logos anymore.
