Logobama

I may not agree with him on a lot of issues, but I'll admit that Barack Obama ran a truly inspirational campaign. In fact, it was so inspirational that it apparently inspired the Pepsi logo:

CNN correspondent Alina Cho devoted an entire report on Monday’s American Morning program to how the Obama presidential run has apparently served as an inspiration for ad campaigns by big corporations. Cho zeroed in on how the Pepsi logo and the Obama campaign logo were “strikingly similar,” both using “swirls of red, white, and blue,” despite the fact that Pepsi has used the color scheme since World War II.

Well, I think what's going on here is obvious. Obama used his magical powers to travel back in time and persuade Pepsi to use a logo similar to his. You know, for the good of the country.

Update: Blech. (Thx, leon.)

2 Hey, Alina Cho, you dummy. Has it occurred to you that Obama slightly changed one of the most recognizable logo's IN THE WORLD in order to initiate his own BRAND around the world? You, miss, are an idiot.

3 I don't care that Obama may have borrowed the Pepsi logo. I do care that Pepsi appears to be trying to capitalize on it.

Evan Maloney blogged about it as well.

It's in the UK (at least, when I hover over the link it's .uk) and it's a 7 month old post.

So that's Spam triple fail.
