Or if I wore it on the front of my shirt it would also be pointing to my Left.
But what if I put the logo on the back of my shirt?

Maybe the logo arrow represents Left or Right and Hillary's Campaign excludes no one. Right Left, gender, color, religious belief, etc.
That's how I see it anyway.

And the red is still active, so, probably not.

'Search Google for this image' option, and the response was 'Best guess for this image: map of central america'.

Talk about a cryptic message!

She may have an openly gay campaign manager, Robert Mook

What will her opponents on DU say bout that?

The arrow is blue in all of the banner ads I've seen so far. The call to action button is red.

Web ad design 101.

Probably based on a branding rule. The red arrow would overwhelm such a small ad and take away from the CTA.

On her site, the red arrowed logo mostly stands on its own.

Also on her site, the logo varies in other ways... white arrow, light blue arrow... etc.

Maybe Hillary is walking through a minefield with an above average explosive density or she has an amazing capacity to find 'em all.

She got done in on that score by wingnuts, assholes, corporate pigs, and "Harry and Louise" ads. But she was way ahead of the curve on that issue.

Because the shade is quite close to French Sky Blue.

[font size="4"][font color="#77B5FE"]French sky blue[/font][/font]
Hex triplet #77B5FE
sRGBB (r, g, b) (119, 181, 254)

At right is displayed the colour French sky blue, which is the tone of sky blue that is called sky blue (bleu ciel) in the Pourpre.com colour list, a colour list widely popular in France.
