The 2016 presidential campaign is now in full swing, and this week alone had seen two more Republican candidates – Jeb Bush, former governor of Florida, and real estate magnate Donald Trump – throwing their hats into the ring. (Although in Trump’s case, it was probably his hair instead of his hat). Jeb Bush has already released his campaign logo, and the media immediately picked up on the fact that Jeb Bush chose not to put his last name on the logo, and therefore seemed to distance himself from his father, president George H. W. Bush, and his brother, president George W. Bush. However, this is not the only hidden message in Jeb’s campaign logo, or in the logos of other 2016 presidential campaigns, for that matter. Here are 10 of the hidden messages in some the 2016 campaign logos – revealed.

First and foremost, thank you ever-so-much for the pic of Trump. I’d not seen it before. I can now die with a smile on my lips. I am THRILLED that he joined the race and pray he makes the cut for the August debate. He’ll suck all the seriousness out of the room. It’ll be a grand piece of performance art.
Rand’s logo looks like it has a tongue of flames. Maybe he’s a saint.
Do you remember Mitt Romney’s logo? Someone posted it next to an Aquafresh toothpaste logo and it was almost identical.

I am also glad that Trump is running because he’ll provide a much-needed comic relief. Have you seen a mashup of best lines from his announcement speech?
However, I’m a little concerned that every other Republican candidate will seem reasonable and presidential when compared to Donald.
I looked up Romney/Aquafresh 2012 logo – either I forgot, or totally missed that back then, so thanks for the laugh.
With Rand Paul logo, I’ve also realized that the torch, or the tongue, separates the name into Egyptian god Ra and North Dacota, and I haven’t decided what to make of it.

Yeah, why would he bother changing a logo from a successful campaign? I’m sure he’ll also be running his 2016 presidential campaign with the same promises he made to Florida back in 1994 or whenever that was.
Your peace.love.hyperbole! logo has another important difference – it has no expiration date. 🙂

Actually, it was surprisingly easy to make a gif (MakeAGif.com – surprisingly easy!, paid for by MakeAGif.com).
The hard part was to make Rubio align with Obama, but it still was a breeze compared to trying to do that with these actual politicians.

you do bring up an interesting point. Jeb isn’t Bush’s name. Does it have to be his real name on the ballots? Will people get confused if they see John Ellis Bush? Will we have another event like the “hanging chads” where no one will vote for him because they’ll be too stupid to know that it’s him and he’ll lose the primary just on that? 🙂
LikeLike
I don’t have an answer to that either. However, I think in Jeb’s home state of Florida, voters will get confused even if they show up to vote for Jeb! and the ballot says “Jeb” without an exclamation mark.

Jeb Bush’s logo was actually inspired by his mother, who was often heard yelling “Damn it, Jeb!” But marketing analysts decided to shorten it for a better vsual impact…

I think Jeb is the initials of his full name, John Ellis Bush. Or short for Jebus.
But I have no theory to explain why he needs an exclamation point given how little excitement he’s generating.

I don’t think there’s that much of a jackpot in the Jeb lottery. Assuming that it’s not just an IOU, it may be enough just to pay for 4 years walking around the world and eating nothing but ramen noodles.
