     Heidi, I did some years of CI consulting, and logo creation.

     If you are not going for some dangerous form of Guerilla marketing, this is a bad idea.

     Not, b/c it is not well done graphically.

     A logo has to be distinctive from the ones of competitors, among other things.

     Let following juxtaposition speak for itself:

     Blue is also difficult.

     @HistoPol very happy to choose an alternative but we need actual@designs proposed. @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

     (2/2)

     The GQP has been identified with the African elephant for ages.

     In my opinion:

     This ancestor needs to look distinctly (brown not grey).

     The GQP and TFG have all but usurped the Stars and Stripes. A powerful message.

     The Mastodon needs to look ferocious and (more) powerful, sort of like the one in the 1st pic.

     OFC blue is THE Dem color.
     We should revitalize the #BlueWave / #BlueTsunami.

     It is graphically challenging to integrate.

     Yes, and this needs to be done by a graphics designer.
     And they need a briefing.

     Yes.
     The current draft looks too similar and too reminiscent of an African elephant 🐘.

     @HistoPol I think most artists would get that it needs to read Mastodon and not GOP Elephant. But that is an important distinction t be sure. @heidilifeldman @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

     #LogoDesign for @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

     Used to, but lost contact IRL and, since the takeover, on the #DeadBirdSite.

     I know there are quite some #artists here in the #Fediverse.

     I guess it is a question of giving such a request the necessary reach through boosting.

     I'm confident that the 2 posts are enough to start a discussion with a designer.

     You cut right to the chase.

     Balancing these two strong images is difficult.
     I can easily see a cute infant Mastodon surfing a wave on a surfboard. But this campaign must exude strength and a #YesWeCan spirit. It mustn't look cute.
     It must look threatening to TFG.

     only half joking here...

     Anybody up for making a logo of a mastodon surfing the Blue Tsunami?

     @HistoPol @gfjacobs @heidilifeldman @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews Sorry, the Mastodon critter is rather charming and in fact, cute. The image can be powerful and still representational. I understand messaging and also how not to corrupt an existing logo. Take a look yourself at some Mastodon merch.

     @HistoPol @heidilifeldman Really needs a graphic designer, the ones submitted so far are...well I don't have a way to make it sound like they're ok. They're just not very good and you can tell it's just people puttering with software.
