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

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 either, but hey — it's helping.
Him, not them.

It sounds like the objection is the gender neutrality part, not the tampon part.
ProTip: every first aid kit should have tampons.

Yes, I'm sure the gender-neutral phrasing in a bill with bipartisan approval is exactly what Tr*mp had in mind… ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](http://forums.macnn.com/images/smilies/oldschool/rolleyes.gif)

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.

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...

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.

Did you actually subscribe to Dem political mailers?
I'm on their side, but jeez, my inbox gets enough crap. I don't subscribe to any political mailing lists.

Good lord, no. They just started showing up a few months back. The Republican spam came a bit later, but Apple (it’s a dotmac email) puts that in the junk folder.
Sorta related, when my ex was still my ex to be, she tried to score tickets to Obama’s presumed acceptance speech in the park downtown. The offer was 12 hours of “get out the vote” work, in Indiana for an entry into a lottery.
She declined, but gave them our phone number, leading to years of relentless party robocalls, and then dumped me like three months after this happened.

If they don't point to her real website, they are just scams. I don't want to do the research to see if that's a real PAC or not. kamalaharris.com is it. Not .us, not hypnenated, etc.
I've gotten so many texts I had to block and warn my parents not to click any campaign texts.
Oddly enough I was getting robocalls from the republican party. I think someone added me to their list as a joke. ![Big Grin](http://forums.macnn.com/images/smilies/oldschool/biggrin.gif)

Just checked her site out of curiosity. The one thing I'm looking for on a campaign website is candidate positions on various policy matters.
Lots of donation and store links. Ways to find events. Hiring staff. FAQ sections on ordering & donations. Not one word about policies anywhere.
