the obama media brand

No matter how you feel about Barack Obama (and I do love him, a lot), you have to admit that his campaign so far has been incredibly savvy on a number of levels.  I of course have been interested in his design and typography decisions, from the construction of the "O" logo to the selection of Gotham as his official font of Change.  The Guardian has posted a gallery of some of his branding techniques that also briefly touches on those used by his companions (past and present) in the presidential race.  My own favorite Obama image remains Shepard Fairey's awesome silkscreens, and a man who can inspire design like that gives me all kinds of other hope besides.
