2016 Presidential Field Grows; Examining Campaign Logos

The 2016 presidential field is growing, as the road to the White House gets a little more crowded.

Former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the first democrat to officially enter the field, after she posted a video announcement to her website on Sunday. Lots of people are reacting strongly to her announcement - more than three million views of her tweets were recorded in just one hour on Sunday, and that night there were three quarters of a million views to her Facebook video message.

They were checking her new logo, with the arrow coming out of the "h". Some people compared it to FedEx and some said it's too simple. There's another logo in the news from another candidate. Republican Senator Marco Rubio followed Ms. Clinton and announced his presidential run. His logo has his name with the image of America dotting the 'i'... but where did Hawaii and Alaska go?

So this is where you come in. If you were running for president of the United States, or maybe even  president of your class, what would your logo look like, and why? Describe or draw your design and let us know the meaning behind it. We'll show some of your responses on our next show.
