political capital

Music: American Idol

Exhibit A: Obama Logo. This design helped to forge the double-entendre of "the Big O," which originally referred to my beloved Roy Orbison but now apparently only refers to that Sexual Being the President. In addition to being a ring, perfect circle, symbol of wholeness and completeness as well as any sundry erogenous zones, the stripes resemble the stripes of a flag, the furrows of freshly tilled land (something's about to sprout), and so forth. A fecund logo, to be sure.

Exhibit B: New Pepsi Logo.
