The Democratic Alliance steels a little from Barack Obama

Design

I know I might be being a bit of a crap stirrer as my mother always used to say, but there I was browsing through the Sunday newspaper and there it was, the new Democratic Alliance logo, but… then I remembered seeing something similar to the new logo recently. And then it hit me, Barack Obama. Don’t these two logos look awefully similar?

The Democratic Alliance Logo (from the website) and the Barack Obama campaign logo. I have also included the old DA logo just to show that there has at least been some improvement…

So, am I insane or what? What do you think?

    agreed :)

    and further, the older logo was better to me :)

    Thanks to coda, who pointed this out – if the DA copied Obama’s logo, then Obama copied this one Taiwan Solidarity Union

    Niki,

    No doubt that Coda has probably hit the nail on the head.

    I have no problem with designers and people copying aspects and various things, because that is what “inspiration” is all about. I just think the high that Barack Obama and his campaign is on at the moment makes it harder for the DA’s logo resemblance to go unnoticed.

    i agree!!! when i saw the launch i instantly said the logo looks just like obamas!!! to be honest i wanted to start some sort of campaign like that of Sheppard fairy did of obama(the famous blue red and white print of his face). but im working on making it not look like a complete rip off.

    I was behind a car with the Obama Campaign sticker on it and thought the logo was really familiar. Blame the person who designed it perhaps. Either they are lazy or the DA is unoriginal, or trying to be sneaky. I don’t know. It’s not good. Looking at them side by side, the similarities are shockingly obvious! It’s just annoying!
