Why is your logo so stupid?

Oh please, by all means tell me how to make it better, Picasso.

Why is your logo so stupid?

mericavstheworld.substack.com

We get this question a lot so I’m just going to get this out of the way.

Every brand needs a logo.

We spent the better part of 5 minutes developing ours.

Below is our thorough process.

Copy it at your peril.

Many pro-American companies have similar elements:

  • Eagle

  • 13 Stars

  • Waving Flag

  • Arrows

  • Skulls

  • Guns

  • You get the idea

Many go with an image like the one below:

It’s a great image.

13 stars. Symbolic. Iconic. Badass.

However, it looks like a lot of other logos.

Now, there is nothing wrong with looking like other logos as long as you don’t mind being like everyone else.

We don’t want to be like everyone else. So, maybe go to the extreme end of the spectrum with something like the image below.

Pros:

  • it’s bold

  • Commies immediately know where they stand

Cons:

  • people see a skull with an arrow in it and assume you aren’t welcoming.

  • We will never earn a single female subscriber.

We love the ladies (not like that, we’re married) and need them on Team Merica, thus, “Freedom Death Skull AF” is a no go.

So, we decided to go to the other end of the spectrum

Buck tradition and make the logo funny.

We settled on a sweet, happy little cartoon character - the Gray Ghost.

He’s funny, light hearted and obviously Merican AF.

Just like us.

Bonus: Choose a Silly Logo and Get Away with Murder (not literally, FBI)

The Gray Ghost is so cute and cuddly he does stuff other logos can’t.

In the above “No Quarter for Commies” sticker the Gray Ghost is flipping the ol’ double bird.

But you’re like, “aww, that’s funny. Little guy just sowing his oats.”

We showed this image to a legit Commie and they/them loved it*.

*this never happened.

Gray Ghost is also non-partisan.

Here he is complimenting Speaker Pelosi on her fine beach apparel.

While also letting President Trump knows he appreciates him.

The answer to your slightly rude question as to why is our logo so lame?

It’s not. It’s awesome.

Not everything has to be super serious.

We can have fun AND build the Republic as our Founders intended.

In Conclusion

  1. Gray Ghost is badass.

  2. A negative opinion of the Gray Ghost is probably due to racism (check your privilege, bro/brah/brx)

  3. Play your cards right and a sweet Gray Ghost sticker could visit you in the mail.

That’s it. That’s all I’ve got.

See, even insults feel better coming from the Gray Ghost.
