Yea, I still find it creepy

Published on September 21, 2012 By Draginol In Politics

Caused a minor outrage on Qt3 a couple years ago by being uncomfortable with individual leaders having their own logo. I stupidly pointed out that personalized logos have commonly been used by totalitarian movements in the past (Godwin alert!)

But you know, it’s still creepy.

And you know what else is creepy?

To politicians: STOP IT.

You can appreciate the value of branding, surely?

Romney's logo makes me think he picked Ryan long ago.

Giant portrait of an authoritarian > Some new symbol of authoritarians

Nothing creeps me out more then walking into something like a hospital and seeing a giant portrait of the CEO next to smaller portraits of the exec team.

CEOs, however, can't have you shot.

Or the final 2 were Ryan and Rubio.
