Trump rolls out NSFW logo for Mike Pence vice president announcement

Donald Trump’s penchant for gaudy design is once again making headlines.

Today, the presumptive Republican nominee finally confirmed that he’s chosen Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice president pick. With that, Trump’s campaign rolled out a new eye-raising logo in which the T is, uh, interlocking with the P. Here it is:

The logo is being quickly viewed as a massive branding fail for the campaign from Twitter users who are having a field day mocking it. Once you notice that the T is penetrating the P, you can’t unnotice it, which seems to be the most popular critique online.

Here’s a sampling:

Pence: What about our logo?

Pence: “What does, um, our logo mean?”
Trump: “I AM INSIDE YOU.”
Pence: “That’s uh…that’s what I thought.” https://t.co/tiyVh6G3Jf

The ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ would’ve been a better logo, to be honest.

With the rise of the chief AI officer, it’s time to examine ‘czar’ culture

Even if it’s a familiar pattern — hot new thing, new C-Suite exec to tackle said thing, a few years go by and that C-Suite position no longer exists as everyone is now doing said thing (or it was a fad that has since faded away) — does it make sense for businesses to continue to appoint new czars with every new trend?
