Description
This interpretation of the logo first used in the 2008 presidential campaign of Democratic candidate Barack Obama was marketed as “fun rhinestone pins for serious times.” The logo combined a rising sun with the first letter of Obama’s name. Obama defeated his Republican challenger John McCain to become the first African American president of the United States.
