I’m not sure what John J. means when he says “look at the East Valley Tribune logo”. It’s pretty non-descript.

But maybe the point is that a lot of designs bear similarities. Indeed, Mitchell’s logo is clean and smart.

Just about every candidate wants to incorporate the AZ flag; then they gotta add some sort of other element to create an individual identity like that road graphic Mitchell uses. I’m just not sure what that means for him. Maybe he’s taking us up or down some road or it ’s a metaphor for the long journey ahead. Or maybe he just wants to fix the street in front of his house?

Anyway, using the circle is unique. Most just try to fit their stuff into a horizontal rectangle. So kudos for breaking out of the…er…uh…box.

I don’t think he’s copycatting all that much. I’ve seen much worse rip-offs.If you look at a range of political posters, they all look pretty much alike. I took more issue with the candidate in Gilbert that blatantly ripped off the UPS colors and logo for his campaign sign. I was truly offended he tried to sway our vote by using someone else’s credibility. What kind of message does that send about that candidate?

Frankly, I think Mitchell’s logo looks more like a logo for a health food company that I’ve seen on the grocery store shelves and less like Obama’s.

In the world of commercial art, Mitchell’s logo is considered a smart design. It is clean, bold, and pulls the right emotional strings. Since there are millions of logo designs world wide it is rare to see a logo that expresses unique originality. Look at similarities of the flags of nations.
