DNCC Confused On What The US Flag Looks Like




Quote:
The viewers say with the stars and blue field in the lower left corner, it looks like an upside down American flag. Published flag etiquette states the stars should always be displayed in the upper left corner. An upside down flag represents an international symbol of extreme distress.

Matt Chandler with the Obama campaign says the flag is not upside down. He says it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama’s shirt with the flag blowing in the wind.
Yes — a flag blowing upside-down. The DNCC would not even admit they used a flag:

Quote:
“The DNCC community credentials incorporate patriotic design elements. They do not depict an actual American flag. The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag and all rules of display.”
Take a look at the picture and see for yourself whether this depicts an American flag. Blue field …. check. Stars …. check. Alternating white and red stripes …. check. Looks like the flag to me. Maybe the DNCC isn’t familiar with Old Glory.

Flying a flag upside down is a distress signal. Creating a graphic for a presidential campaign that includes an upside-down flag is a signal of a different kind — that the DNCC needs better management.

Looks like a flag to me, too.

Somebody messed up and now it is too late ( and too expensive ) to change it ... so they are going with the "it was supposed to look like this all along" to CTA. JMHO

I just commented on our blog on how you know that 59 stars would take up a lot of space ....maybe that is why they put it upside down...
