Jeb Bush ready to excite voters with newish logo

(NYMag) --Jeb Bush's unofficial presidential campaign (until tomorrow) has released a new official logo which is devoid of "Bush", but still punctuated with enthusiasm:

Like the candidate it represents, the design is a somewhat-updated reboot of a version used for previous campaigns:

And as is their way, Twitter folks are providing some thoughtful analysis of Jeb's new icon:

Seriously – Jeb Bush's logo looks like a flop musical that closes out of town. pic.twitter.com/YTen7NYKd2

I went ahead and translated Jeb's logo into Spanish for him. Seems like a huge oversight. pic.twitter.com/3ljntvrJ9z

Well, the new Jeb! logo thing really got to @RealBenCarson's team. He's just rolled out his own new logo: pic.twitter.com/UX2RjIm4sH

Jeb's not-really-new design also harkens back to the 1996 presidential campaign of Lamar Alexander, who left the GOP primary race after placing third in Iowa and New Hampshire, then advised Bob Dole's unsuccessful presidential bid:

But senior advisor to the Bush campaign and exclamation-point lover Mike Murphy is already quick to defend the logo:

Why Jeb! Logo works well: clean, easy to see from far away, upbeat, and most of all; Consistent. #It'sAboutJeb #Jeb2016

And, gotta say, Hillary logo looks like parking lot directions for a French Hospital... pic.twitter.com/g4tIYo4ZDR

Not the first criticism Hillary Clinton's logo has received of course, but for compelling defense of her design, as well as reviews and rankings of the other 2016 candidates' design schemes, check out this Medium post.
