In honor of today's historic Presidential inauguration, I thought we should take a look at some Obama art (Obamart?). This next one is from 30 Reasons, a website that I found during the election season. It is a series of 30 graphic designers presenting 30 reasons to vote for Barack Obama. Even if you disagree with one or all of these reasons, it's an aesthetic treat! Yum-yum!

And I would be remiss if I were to ignore the Obama logo and branding-an incredible way to reach younger voters of the MTV generation (like myself), as well as the growing number of design-concious Americans (and let's face it, who doesn't like pretty things?). Read about it here and here. Presidential campaigning will never be the same.
(Obama campaign buttons with O logo and Gotham typeface)
If you're wondering what that font is that he's used, it's called Gotham, and it was chosen for its simplicity and elegance.

Happy Inauguration Day! :)
