Seems like we'll continue with the red=Republican thing for the forseeable future.
There isn't anything intrinsic about communism that says "red, that's the color!". It was just a useful convention.
I don't know how much the Nike swoosh can say, perhaps movement/agility?. It's always been fairly meaningless to me, aside from the whole being the Nike logo thing.
- byrneseyeview 18y agoSeems like we'll continue with the red=Republican thing for the forseeable future. "We" are a very small minority. Everyone -- the US included -- knows who Reds are. Only Americans, and folks who follow American news fairly closely, know what "red states" are.

- Zev 18y agoI imagine when interacting with foreign committees and governments, Obama would use a symbol of the United States such as the flag, rather then his own personal logo.
