If abstraction is too difficult for your tender literal sensibilities to interpret then you have no authority to be judging the success of any graphical composition. What is your graphic design pedigree anyway; Professional or casual? And to Korinna, isn't every election sticker, button, and other collateral associated with their own respective candidate completely about the man or woman and their campaign?

Actually, you can probably just write a nice CSS stylesheet for the feed, kinda like how feedburner does it. You can take in the combined feed through PHP and spit it out as a nice HTML page.

I might have to do something like this, though I really want a web page where visitors can go to view the combined feed in a nicer format than RSS (something like andyinlife.com). The curved connectors can be done with some crazy Javascript. :) That’s really cool!

To say that it shows disrespect towards Japan is ingenious. The symbol is not new to the US, since it's universal symbology. The sun DOES rise everywhere else too. It's not always an invocation towards the Japanese flag. Come on, that’s taking it a little bit too far. To say that it shows disrespect towards Japan is ingenious.

Japan is known as "The Land of the Rising Sun" and the “rising sun” flag is the military flag of Japan. So, this symbol may be new to the US, but not a new symbol. It doesn’t show respect to the US disparaging our flag and recreating his logo from another countries emblem. I heard Obama say this symbol was the rising sun, supposedly to represent hope.

The "Big O" is the rising sun/son bestowing his radiance upon us all and ruling over the land below. The image is completely about the man. And it's a visual concept rehash of Reagan's "Morning in America" campain. Forget Obama... we should elect his brand strategist for President, for absolute genius in spinning the most effective brand around a product as substantive as cotton candy.

Both are incredibly evocative, if not current to a lot of people. The logo is also a cross between the Van Gogh painting “The Sower” and a Thomas Hart Benton depression-era farm scene.
