I'm all for Wendy Davis, but

Jeez Louise, I hate her logo. It's graphic chaos, and it sure doesn't say "I can take on the good ole boys." It's really tough to picture Ann Richards running with something this whimsical. I'll contribute to the campaign and bug my Texas relatives, but...ouch:

Here is a link to the Wendy merchandise that went up yesterday. http://turn-texas-blue.mybigcommerce.com/. This merchandise is from the state party. I have a Turn Texas Blue shirt that I purchased at a state party training session

My daughters may purchase the House Davis ~ We Will Not Yield shirts

Wendy's slogan can be whatever she wants it to be. And folks can DEAL. Geez.

Guess I'll cast my vote for Greg Abbott instead. I mean, you let a candidate coast by on whimsical graphics, and no telling what will happen, down the road.....

I think it's a very good logo.
It is different in some ways, but you immediately see her first name and then her last name. The colors catch the eye.

This is different enough to stand out, but not so different that it can't be read. It also keeps the basic rectangle shape. I think it's a very good blend of the tradtional logos and a newer one.

Form follows function. The function is to get people to see her name and increase its recognition.

In addition, you post one statement about Wendy Davis and use it to criticize her her logo???
Do Jeebus, spare me!

She may take you up on it.

This isn't about taking on the good ole boys. That's old style thinking. THIS is about doing what's best for Texas no matter what your gender.
