Title: New Dem symbol is begging for crosshairs
Post by: Monkeyleg on September 16, 2010, 06:00:24 PM: I received the email below today, and noticed the new Democrat symbol (I hope they didn't pay more than $1.50 for the graphic designer).

Am I the only one who thinks it needs crosshairs to make it complete? ;)

I bet the hex color code for the outer blue circle is identical to that of his.

You'd give them a D+? I'd give a D- at best and probably more like an F-.

....like urinals, spittoons, trash cans, and other recepticals for refuse....

I like it...that would make a great sticker IMHO, but might be too thought provoking for the average D.
Moving this one to Politics.

To truly represent the Dems, there better be a year's worth of "crust" under the rim.

(Nice, InfidelSerf. Definitely Vegas's loss.)
