A Little Bit of Politic
Thursday, November 27, 2008
Ok, I know we've all been sniggering into our lattes about the similarity between the Obama '08 campaign logo and the new DA logo for a couple of weeks now. This one election campaign really shook up the world, to the extent of other manifestation of it appearing in strange places.
Like this poster in Kauai, which had me sniggering into my muffin.Correct me if my assumptions on this image are wrong:
1. The SA flag in the smoothie doesn't imply "Proudly South Africa" but rather politicises the image
2. The overwhelming majority of this country sees the current government as change
3. Change then implies an oppositional stance
4. The DA should form a coalition party with Kauai, running a campaign on the notions of wheatgrass and feeling good and mop up the minorities. Their logos are close enough already.

The DA logo ain't no coincidence, in my opinion. I attended a meeting recently organised by the Centre for Conflict Resolution, and it consisted of a panel of respresentatives from major opposition parties... Patricia de Lille, Bantu Holomisa, and the schoolmarmish screechy chick from the DA whose name I forget.
Anyway, when it came to her chance to speak, she endlessly invoked the Obama campaign as if she and he were obviously doing the exact same thing.
She just manged to forget a long the line that his campaign was a wee bit more graceful.
Ja, notice how there is no black in the DA logo? Guess there's no room for the good old dark stuff in their brand spanking new branding. Horah for Change!
