For all that last site’s saying that “Liberals are Freaking Over Cruz’s Symbol, and Don’t Know What It Is!” , I gotta answer – No, it’s pretty clearly a flame with a star and the colors red, white, and blue. But it does look surprisingly like the al-Jaseera logo. Surely they muty have realized this.
I’m not freaking. The question is – are Cruz’ supporters?
It loks like lots of other things, too, including the Natural Gas logo (fill in your joke here), but the al-Jazeera similarity is the one the leapt out at me
Let’s be realistic here: if you get professionals to design your logo they will accuse you of being slick; if you get your 8-yr-old daughter to do it they will accuse you of being amateurish.
I would take that as America’s Olympic Flame. Both slick and amateurish.
Jesus. It’s a common shape. There are only so many shapes in the world. Of all the things to worry about regarding Ted fucking Cruz, this is so far down the list it doesn’t warrant a mention.
There was a thread on this several months ago. One theory advanced was that it’s based on the flame of Pentecost, as a subtle visual clue to evangelicals, Baptists,and so on.
I’m on my phone and can’t link, but google images for “Pentecostal flame” and you’ll see the resemblance.
