The rebranding effort, officials say, is meant to represent a national coalition making 'change that matters.'

In what was billed as a "major announcement," the Democratic National Committee on Wednesday unveiled not a new policy platform, but a new logo -- one with a familiar ring.

It is the first rebranding effort by the party since Bill Clinton was president, officials say, and is meant to deemphasize the traditional notion of the party organization as a Washington-based collection of gray-beards and instead represent a national coalition making "change that matters."

Along with the logo is a redesigned website, which the party calls "a home for powerful tools that will empower Democrats across the country to connect with one another and with the party."

...

The emphasis of the letter "D" in the logo evokes what has become a regular feature of President Obama's campaign speeches of late. After arguing that Republicans drove the nation into a ditch, Obama says that to move forward, you put the car in "D," but to reverse you put it in "R."

The logo also has a circular shape that resembles Obama's campaign logo, as does the color scheme. Gone is the American flag and the familiar donkey.

patriotic, say it aloud and spell it.....p a t r i o t i c.   Seems to me all the heavy military experience on the Republican side has been carried wholly by FaceShooter Cheney and HipShooter McCain.

Well they had to change it from "change we can believe in" because nobody really believes in it anymore.

Jesus. I wonder how much money they squandered designing that?

Probably a lot more than some clever conservative spent running a red line through it, and negating the whole damn thing, LOL.
