Hillary's Insipid "H With an Arrow" Logo Took Three People Two Month's Work

As Z said in Men in Black: "You're everything we've come to expect from government employees."

Though they weren't employees; they were volunteers. Employees would have taken another six months plus an addition $10 million to cover cost overruns.

This reads like a spoof, but the Free Beacon claims this is genuine.

"I put together a three-person team: me, designer Jesse Reed, and project manager Julia Lemle," Bierut wrote. "We would work in secret for the next two months."
Bierut says the goal of the two-month secret project was "to create something new and different."

And boy, did you exceed expectations.

This looks like a sign in a former Soviet Republic
telling you where to drop off your dying relatives for euthanasia

The team settled on "a perfectly square H," which seemed simple but really was anything but."

I did a ten second google search for "square H." I thought it would be very simple, but it was something else entirely -- it was very, very simple.

A theoretical perfectly square H (artist's conception)

I mean, obviously, a perfectly square H is a hard thing to pull off. You'd need like a T-square or shit.

"Although we explored dozens of symbols, the one everyone gravitated to was the simplest of all: a perfectly square H," Bierut explained.

Wait, I thought it turned out to be "anything but" simple, but now it's the "simplest."

"But its simplicity was deceptive."

No, it's not deceptive. Block letters are kind of the opposite of deceptive.

But anyway, here's the deceptive part, per this design expert:

"What looked like an H was really a window, capable of endless transformations."

A perfectly square H which is really a window,
capable of "endless transformations"

Incidentally, I've seen windows. I've used windows. I have sometimes put lights around windows to make them festive.

I have never noticed they were capable of "endless transformations." Pretty much they alternate between the "Open" and "Closed" "transformation."

"Two" is not really one of your classic numbers associated with "endlessness," unless the two in question is in Teen Wolf 2.

Though, if you want to be a stickler, I suppose you can say that Zeno's Arrow can be endlessly transformed into Zeno's Arrow, and each infinitesmial iota of sliding between "open" and "shut" can count as a new "transformation," and therefore a window is in fact capable of "endless transformations."

I guess you can also break the window, and glass could shatter in a not-quite-infinite-but-near-enough number of ways. More "endless transformations."

But that would be hard to achieve. You'd need an endless supply of protean window panes and an endless supply of transformative rocks.

For purposes of comparison, here's a window which suggests it just might be capable of "endless transformations:"

Note two important things about this window:

1, it's visually interesting; and

2, it belongs to a Fuckin' Wizard who has actually read several books about how to achieve endless transformations with your Fuckin' Wizard Powerz.

But this simple yet "anything but" simple design wasn't quite perfect yet -- while it wasn't an H, really, but an endlessly transforming window opening upon superdimensional vistas and higher planes beyond mortal man's ken, it wasn't quite perfect enough yet.

It needed one additional transformation -- infinity wasn't enough. Hillary Clinton needed infinity plus one.

By adding in an arrow, the logo was complete.

Perfection.

Ever buy a window? From like Home Depot?

I bet the packaging outside the window actually has an arrow on it to tell you which way the window should be installed.

So I bet this isn't even a novel look for a window.

These design geniuses (Jerry Seinfeld just emailed to ask, "Who arrrre these Design Geniuses?") realized that the simple but "anything but" simple H, which was really an endlessly-transforming window, wasn't quite endlessly transforming enough, and in fact was a bit static, which is the exact opposite of "transforming," whether endlessly, periodically, or whatever, but we're now very deep in the bullshit so let's just roll with it.

"We worried that the H alone, even as an ever-changing frame, was too static."

Bro, do you even lift concepts and buzzwords you barely understand?

Get ready for a final avalanche of meaningless buzzwords.

"We finally found what we thought was the right finishing touch, the simplest thing in the world: an arrow, emerging naturally from the geometry of the letterform, pointing forward, toward the future."

It emerged so naturally from the letterform they had to crudely draw it on with red paint.

By the way, this endlessly transformative frame of a window with an arrow through it could also be visualized as a sad blue Democrat letterform which has been mortally wounded by an arrow red with heart's blood and Republican hatred which could be said to emerge naturally from the geometry of Hillary's scandals and complete lack of message or personality.

And the block nature of the letter could be read as a the plan of a cell block. That, too, emerges organically and yet complexly from the letterform and its numinous transformations of mind:space and discourses about power relationships between jailer and prisoner.

Anyway, so that's the story of how a logo which an 8 year old kid would have designed in his first draft became Hillary's much criticized amateurish symbol of failure and incompetency.

You gotta see this sketchbook of "new and different" conceptspaces for the letterform "H," some with arrows in them.

I'm sure the democrats can get their minds right and be ready for Hillary in 2020 or possibly Chelsea if Hillary herself gives out. Or if they must reject the Clintons after all they did for the DNC their party can certainly embrace someone in a similar mold such as Elizabeth Warren. Yes - I think they should definitely go with this archetype again.

The original plan was for the Shuttle orbiter and external tank to be mounted on top of the first stage of the Saturn V; said first stage would then do a SpaceX style landing, be refurbished, and reused. As a bonus, we would still be able to build the Saturn stack if we needed to go to the moon, or launch a whole space station at once or whatever.

Instead, we got the Shuttle we all know. Sigh.

Not really, because the computing power didn't exist then. Nor did GPS.

Both the first stage and the droneship are autonomous. There isn't some guy in Mission Control flying it with a joystick. Basically, the droneship maintains position at a precise GPS coordinate, and the stage flies itself to that coordinate.

218 Every single hospital in the Midwest has a block H in blue to alert you to the presence of a hospital, should you find yourself severely nauseated after viewing Hillary and suffering a panic attack after listening to five minutes of her screeching , "We are sick and tired of being sick and tired of accusations that if you disagree with this government you ARE NOT BEING PATRIOTIC".

It took these imbeciles exactly fifteen minutes of doobie fueled time to come up with this after they went to the internet and pulled up stock images of a sign with an H on it.

So perfect. So subliminal. Obvious, and yet,... hidden. Oh, I just want to burry myself in it and suffocate.

So the h team decided to (a) identify the most revered logo since St. Peter drew a cross on a piece of lamb skin, and (b) make it blue AND red and fucking obvious since h supports are all idiots and too stupid to see anything hidden.

Why blue and red. well, the second most revered icon was that hope drawing from 8 years ago,.... which was also built on stolen ideas.

In the article two things stuck out at me:

"I was surrounded by a happy throng of people who, like me, were there for one thing: to celebrate the election of the first woman president of the United States. " On the night of the election woman pres was more important than Hillary, I am not surprised. Typical libs.

"We had spent months developing a logo; Trump had spent years building a brand. Had Trump won not in spite of his terrible design work, but because of it?" Uh, duh? The Trump election logo read I'm one of you, not I'm better than you. That matters to suffering people.

Beirut says he believes in the power of design. It must KILL him that his perfectly designed H logo lost out to MAGA trucker hats. KILL him. I love it. Good design does not wipe away bad policy or bad personality. They don't seem to get that.

304 In fairness it's a well-designed mark, and two months is not a great deal of time to work on a high end mark for branding something as significant as a presidential campaign. That's not two solid months of 40 work-hours a week dedicated to this project alone. That's the total length of time it took from start to finish. That's not outrageous at all in my experience.

It's also got a conceptual idea that's not present in say Trump/Pence's mark. Not saying that makes it better, 'cause what's "better" in context is really hard to quantify.... but it does communicate more with less.

330 In fairness it's a well-designed mark, and two months is not a great deal of time to work on a high end mark for branding something as significant as a presidential campaign. That's not two solid months of 40 work-hours a week dedicated to this project alone. That's the total length of time it took from start to finish. That's not outrageous at all in my experience.

It's also got a conceptual idea that's not present in say Trump/Pence's mark. Not saying that makes it better, 'cause what's "better" in context is really hard to quantify.... but it does communicate more with less.

I hate hillary, but her logo wasn't bad. Obama's logo was cool too.
Posted by: Mozam at March 30, 2017 07:05 PM (A5oSi)

A logo should bring thoughts and images and represent what the person or company does in the world.
As a consumer who is the target of logos.. this logo is beyond stupid. It has zero originality.

and Trump's logo conveyed a positive message with a mission. It wasn't about him, it was about how he represented a mission that we agreed with.

Sorry, but when the actual graphic design counts for more than the effect the design has on intended targets, the designers have failed.

346 We're overnighting in Moab, Utah, a place with thousands of hotel rooms, another few thousand campsites, a hundred-or-so eateries, and no live music venues. There are no bars here in the country of The Saints, thus no music dives. Last night we were in a tiny town with one cowboy motel over on the western edge of Capital Reef, just us, the darkness, a billion stars, and one coyote yipping. The drive over here along the Fremont river had breathtaking views, and we thought this town might have some entertainment. Sadly, no. I think what the Saints do for fun is try and sign us Gentiles up, so we can get saved.
Posted by: Les Kinetic at March 30, 2017 07:02 PM (UUA2K)

I'm actually surprised you didn't find any good dive bars with good entertainment. Moab is the place in Southern Utah that hippie outdoor loving non-Mormons settle in to get away from all the religion freaks. At least that's my take.

One of the most famous breweries in Utah is IN Moab, the imaginatively named Moab Brewery. Their Dead Horse Amber Ale is supposed to be good, among other things.

That is gorgeous country, I'm a bit jealous I'm not there right now. Perfect time to do it. Dead Horse Point is nearby too and spectacular.

Trump's decision, which was made Wednesday but not immediately announced, allows U.S. special operations forces to accompany Somali National Army troops and other African allies as they move closer to the fight, enabling them to call in offensive airstrikes quicker.

No, it's pointing to the right, which I guess the election showed was the future. Congrats on being accidentally correct.

Forward, as anyone who has ever driven on the road knows, is an arrow pointing up.

407 re 371: just my opinion, but I think I would been quiet about that. Wait till someone like Schumer reveals it so he can look like he's undercutting our military.

in related news, Amy Schumer is chubby and seems to think that a chubby chick talking about wearing a g-string is automatically hilarious, and apparently the haters were busy saying her recent netflix special was crap.

Laurel and Hardy discussing the tide tables over tea and crumpets would be funnier than a lot of today's comedians, unless one of the crumpets were played by Amy Schumer.

417 OT but just heard on the top of the hour radio news that 'the Trump administration was appealing the Hawaii judge's decision on halting the travel ban' or words to that effect, which led me to the thought of: why is this judge's overreach being legitimized? Why is his judicial tyranny being engaged?
I mean seriously, what if this fucktard or some other black robed tyrant just decides that it is in their purview to, so to speak, veto anything the Trump administration does. Because of irreparable harm to......I don't know...pick the victim, for crying the fuck out loud.

420 re 409: damn, read it years ago, no idea. Maybe I can find it in a day or two, I'll get back to you,

but Google came up with this: the President is LBJ in 1968 (Nixon):

" Here the secretary of state speaks up: "Well, Mr. President, I have a
very definite view on this, for what it's worth. I do not believe that
any President can make any use of interceptions or telephone taps in any
way that would involve politics. The moment we cross over that divide
we are in a different kind of society." "

421 Ah, the baffling nature of progressives.

The logo is shit. Everyone knows it is shit. It represented a shit candidate, who ran a shit campaign, and almost lost to crazy hippy grandpa and DID lose to Donald Fucking Trump.

I get some progressive asshole did this, and maybe, they are a little proud of it. But for fucks sake, show a modicum of self awareness, and never mention it again. To anyone.

437 I have a logo. It's a sphere/cone, encased and surrounded by a dark center at the very tip, and it all sits in the middle of a larger circle. It looks just like a turd that I'm about to pinch off, but from the bowl's perspective. It looks better than I can describe in words.

443 Though, if you want to be a stickler, I suppose you can say that Zeno's Arrow can be endlessly transformed into Zeno's Arrow, and each infinitesmial iota of sliding between "open" and "shut" can count as a new "transformation," and therefore a window is in fact capable of "endless transformations."

But there is an end point, a maximum of "open" contrasted with a maximum of "close". Thus, the Zeno infinitesimals described here demonstrate that "endless" is entirely different from "limitless"; that 'end' is not the same as 'limit'.

445 Did it not occur to them that the logos behind their logo, of pointing to the future, puts the future on the right and that it's red?

No damn wonder the Democrats did so poorly - Hillary was subliminally telling people to vote Republican! Helluva logo, guys.

Posted by: LCMS Rulz! at March 31, 2017 12:02 AM (o7l6R)

446 I guess you can also break the window, and glass could shatter in a not-quite-infinite-but-near-enough number of ways. More "endless transformations."

But that would be hard to achieve. You'd need an endless supply of protean window panes and an endless supply of transformative rocks.

I said during the campaign that The Donald has repeatedly broken the Overton window, melted down the shards, and then shivved The Narrative with it. And there's a theoretically endless supply of that window. So there you go.

452 Who thought of the slogan "Love Trumps Hate"? I never understood this or the signs they used.

1. You're using your opponent's name in your slogan.
2. The Hillary "H" is used as the first letter of "Hate"...so you see the "H" and "hate" at the same time. Subliminal message?
3. The word "trump" means: a card of a suit any of whose cards will win over a card that is not of this suit; a decisive overriding factor or final resource; or dependable and exemplary person. So "love" "Trumps" Hillary (Hate). Trump is better than Hillary.

454 "We finally found what we thought was the right finishing touch, the

And the designers subliminally knew that the "future" was to the right which is the direction the arrow is pointing.
