Obama’s new website, in my opinion, is a design gem. Besides being wonderfully informative, it’s admirably professional without losing sight of Obama’s optimistic campaign.

Furthermore, I just made a post on my own blog about all the ads I’ve seen that obviously come straight from Barack. The font used (it’s called Gotham) has such a great, simplistic and bold quality, and most of these ads have that same optimism and simplicity.

And don’t forget about Obama’s logo. Here’s a post on why it’s so genius. If any of us could generate anything like the feelings that logo invokes with our wordmark, we’re destined for an A. And greatness.
