iconography....the power of an Icon

0 votes

Have you ever taken a marketing class or even majored in the subject? It can take on a psychological life of it's own.

Look at the shipping company FEDEX. They have the green and purple branded in our minds. They have also become synonymous with overnight shipping. "just...FEDEX it to me".

That brings me to Obama. Watch this:

I always think of Dees as one of the great interpreters of iconography ...

OK, but

wouldn't it make more sense to use the actual presidential seal as the "O" in LOL? Just sayin..

Pajama Media treated Ron

Pajama Media treated Ron Paul like dirt during the pres. campaign. No forgiveness from me. Who is PJ Media anyway? I never heard of them until they started running rigged straw polls.

Never heard of them either ... but don't miss point

RP aside and whatever they stand, who cares. They make a very astute observation.
