Masters of Propaganda or bad Branding problems??
This is some pretty creepy stuff that late night AM radio talk shows indulge in.
It appears that Barack Obama has some really bad logo problems. Research into the blogosphere suggests the same. Obama's campaign has been propping up his logo unto almost anything they can find. Whether its a presidential seal or a golf ball.
The above image on the left is from the 1936 German Olympics. The Olympics logo is in the prominent center, a clock is on one side of it and the N*zi insignia is to other side of it. The image on the right is from an Obama campaign e-mail with the invitation to "win" tickets to an open convention at Denver's Invesco Field. Each place has a circular political branded logo. Also curious to note is that the Obama logo has been scrubbed from the Invesco Field image on the main website. Maybe someone caught this slip? Creepy.
The below image was found while doing some online research into Germany's radical politics (specifically the National Democratic Party of Germany). The only thing edited was its size and color to compare the images (the direct opposite color scheme was used). The image on the left shows the eagle looking to its left shoulder, it symbolizes the N*zi party, and was called the Parteiadler. The image on the right is from BarackObama.com's homepage and serves as a background image. It has the latin words "E PLURIBUS UNUM", common on coinage and on the Great Seal of the United States. But it's curious to note that most American eagle icons don't have beams of light coming from the background. Many bloggers in the blogosphere also agree that Obama's eagle looks strange and just doesn't seem right.
Compare this to an average quarter or a one dollar bill.
The other "odd" item seems to parallel history. Watch the below video of Obama's "Yes we Can" speech. The ending almost seems to mirror another infamous speech from history.
In a lot of Obama's commercials we can catch him saying that: "We are one people, we are one Nation...", this parallels another historical slogan..."Ein Volk, Ein Reich...". John F. Kennedy had his tongue slip when he said "Ich bin eine Berliner"...will a light bulb go off in the local Berliner's heads when Obama speaks? (It looks like NoQuarter caught unto this phrase as well.)
The last interesting item was this. During some free time the main background image from BarackObama.com was edited (only the color scheme), mirrored, and turned upside
down. It appears to be a faded crescent moon, with the Obama logo becoming an "all seeing eye" or a star lit on fire.
The "M" with the star on fire is taken from this image in December 2006):

Guess what happens when you "pinwheel" Obama's logo, cut it in half, and invert it 90 degrees counter clockwise? If you can't see what it is immediately you can stare at it for about a minute and it becomes stereoscoped when you look at a dark wall in the distance and the image should pop up.
