Looking at other pics, he’s at least half-hobbit. They’re pretty pointy, and it’s exaggerated by his connected lobes.

Underproduced?

Calling Walz "Tampon Tim" is such a colossal conservative self-own — even more so because they’re completely oblivious to the fact.

I don’t get it.

What don't you get?

That people are trying to ridicule him over something he's done that is unequivocally a positive thing, with nationwide bipartisan approval?

I don't get it either, but hey — it's helping.

Him, not them.

I’m not familiar with what it’s referring to.

It sounds like the objection is the gender neutrality part, not the tampon part.

Yes, I'm sure the gender-neutral phrasing in a bill with bipartisan approval is exactly what Tr*mp had in mind…

Apparently, the [url=https://www.threads.net/@jonathanhoefler/post/C-oBpJeuoA1]Harris-Walz logo has been tweaked a little[\url]. The commentary is quite interesting, too, graphic designers — even famous ones — are kept in the dark on who will be the pick. And clearly, some combinations work better than others. The Biden-Harris logo works well, combinations with longer (hypothetical) VP picks like Bidens-Whitmer not so much.

Very interesting!

I don’t like it, but I’ll wait to see it in the wild.

Issues: how is it going to look on a white bg? It draws attention to Walz, not Harris, and not in a good way. He’s the “something is missing” candidate now.

I would say it is better, but still not great. Biden-Harris had a nice balance, in no small part helped by the fortuitous fact that the two names have just the right lengths. Harris-Walz looks like amateur hour to me. The refinements lift a bad design to meh/bad.

However, if this is the most vocal complaint of the rollout, they are doing quite well. I’m surprised Hoefler did not get the gig, though.

I ultimately prefer the first. At least it has “100% function” going for it.

I think you are making the same mistake the people on threads did, and thinking the white outline was a design element/shadow, when it just overlays the two versions of walz. A side by side comparison may have been better. It's literally just a little bigger.

The challenge is with stacking logos like this is if you make the short name the same width as the long name, it ends up being larger with more weight. So it has to be smaller font size. I might not have gone quite so small, and maybe used color to indicate difference (a lighter blue for example). Trump/Pence varied it by having the vp very tiny and not bold. Which is saying something...

[subego]

I did indeed! Thank you!

Chicago’s public transit system has temporarily managed to make the trains run on time for the convention.

They’re empty, because anyone with even an ounce of sense is avoiding the convention.
