what is that logo supposed to be, apart from the elephant?

[niyad]

[femmocrat]

1. Half of a guitar.

For rock n roll, I guess. I thought it was an otter at first.

[niyad]

4. thank you. I see it now. thought it was an animal, saw legs, not stars.

note to self: MORE caffeine!!!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

25. Perhaps

you're seeing what you want to see?

[1StrongBlackMan]

31. I thought, "It's a Seal!!!", then, I remembered I'm from Cleveland!

[Frustratedlady]

53. My first thought was an otter. Stupid logo. eom

[0rganism]

8. elephant going to crush that guitar

of course, some idiot cut the guitar in half in the first place for unity, i guess.

[brush]

26. It's a dumb logo. God, the repugs need to find better graphic designers

First the TrumpPence humping logo now this.

[1StrongBlackMan]

34. Like someone wrote earlier ...

It's amazing that trump's whole thing is branding, yet he struggles miserably to strike his strike.

I'm thinking, even his reputed branding "genius" is a fraud!

[3catwoman3]

48. "Reputed" would seem to be the operative term.

Has anyone else called him a genius, or only The Doofus himself?

[1StrongBlackMan]

49. Well ... The Doofus and the talking heads ...

sounds like a band, huh?

[sarae]

51. All the good graphic designers are Dems. :)

[brush]

56. Makes sense. Graphic designers are artists. Don't know of many conservative artists.

The creative mind doesn't usually work like that.

Unless you include Dennis Miller, Chachi and Victoria Jackson in the "artist" category.

[pandr32]

37. They don't have good people

...period.
Intelligent, creative, productive people have little to relate to with the present day hot mess that is the Republican Party. This is why their convention line-up is full of losers and has-beens.
Perhaps they source their donor lists for their graphic designers.

[lillypaddle]

23. They're so hip!

I thought it was a dinosaur.

[rjsquirrel]

29. Played left handed

or seen from behind.

[sofa king]

46. A seven-string guitar...

... Because you thought Republicans couldn't get any lower.

(Edit: Yes, I know, but I couldn't let facts stand in the way of a good swipe.)

[Ken Burch]

59. Probably meant to be an allusion to the presence of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

in the same city as the RNC.

(If any Republican delegates show up there, they'll probably walk out in outrage when they can't find a "Don't Buy Negro Records!" display and when they find out that Bobby Sherman and the Osmond Brothers still haven't been admitted).

[Her Sister]

2. 1/2 of a guitar! lol!

[Kber]

3. Clearly a dinosaur

From when Adam and Eve were kids.

[Arkansas Granny]

7. I thought a newt, perhaps.

I didn't notice the neck of the guitar.

[NCTraveler]

5. An elephant trampling the arts. nt.

[niyad]

17. can definitely see that.

[HassleCat]

6. Patriotic Stratocaster

Cleveland is the home of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.

[upaloopa]

16. What is the music hall of fame in Seattle? I saw it when I visited

but did not go in.

[HassleCat]

20. That's the Music Experience

You can use their equipment to make your own recording.

Sorry, correct title is Experience Music Project - EMP.

[rjsquirrel]

32. Fender must have balked

The headstock is wrong for a strat.

Just like Republicans to play a cheap knock off.

[Hortensis]

9. Or a mongoose about to be stomped.

AFter all, what do guitars have to do with the GOP?

[Sheepshank]

10. What does guitars have to do with Cleveland, the Convention or Republicans?

I find it very odd and out of place.

[NCTraveler]

18. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

https://www.rockhall.com/visit?gclid=CJrB4unJ_c0CFUUmhgodEnUEtw

[Sheepshank]

19. I think that's stretching things a bit in incorporating it as part of their convention theme

but OK, if it makes them feel all that jazzed up lol

[sarae]

52. Yeah, it does seem a little strange...

However, look at the list of RNC speakers: an underwear model, former Real World cast member, a basketball coach...when you take that into account, I guess it's not that weird.

[Spazito]

11. LOL, an elephant standing on the neck of half a guitar...

They hate rock music?
They hate guitars?


Maybe guitars threaten America's security!

[Snotcicles]

12. They should have had the elephant holding an AR15 with it's trunk. nt

[patricia92243]

13. It looks like the outline of a seal cowing in front of the elephant. n/t

[niyad]

15. that was sort of what I was thinking at first, and it just didn't make any sense.

[greymattermom]

14. It's the Donald's hair

with the staples covered by stars.

[auntpurl]

21. There is literally nothing I can think of that is less rock and roll than

the Republican convention.

[Cirque du So-What]

22. A cresting wave of toxic sludge

that will engulf the Gee Oh Pee at the end of this week's carnival of misfits.

[MoonRiver]

24. It looks like an otter to me, which makes no sense.

[procon]

27. So the elephant really isn't stomping out the GOP's regressive dinosaur policies? nt

[niyad]

28. apparently not

[Hekate]

30. Elephant dominates Anteater. I told you this election is going to be a national Rorschach Test.

[niyad]

33. and some of the results are downright scary

[nolabear]

35. Leftie guitar. They're the Jimi Hendrix party.

[niyad]

36. oh, this group is on a roll today!

[appraisermcgrath]

38. It's not a Guitar!!

It's Chris Christie on all fours after being deflated.....

[FSogol]

39. An elephant being overtaken by a wave of Trumpish santorum.

[yellowcanine]

40. It is a dinosaur from Ken Ham's Ark.

[WhiteTara]

41. Is that a dinosaur?

[Motley13]

42. I saw a dinosaur

very fitting for the RNC, an itty bitty dinosaur for the itty bitty RW minds

[spooky3]

43. "Smashing perfectly good guitars"

[misterhighwasted]

44. From far away it looks like a weasel. Trump n Pence

Weeezel

[Retrograde]

45. The Loch Erie Monster

a little-known cousin of the more famous Scottish Nessie.

Or a wave of revulsion

[hlthe2b]

47. Subliminal... Elephant about to step on (or embrace) the weasel

Yeah, I know it is supposed to represent half a guitar, but the wiesel is the first thing I see and oh so appropriately represents the relationship with weasel, Trump.

[whistler162]

50. A ad for the company that Trump is seeking

financing from?

[rurallib]

54. A symbolic rendering of Republican evolution

from the primordial ooze to the epitome of God's handiwork - a republican!

I kill me

[matt819]

55. It does kind of look like a dinosaur raising up to attack the elephant

And why is the elephant depicted as dancing?

[NurseJackie]

57. Look like the guitar could be waves. Is the elephant going surfing?

[niyad]

58. this thread proves that du'ers have some of the most delicious senses of humour! my thanks

to all who responded so brilliantly.
