Creative director Steve Juras led designers Aaron Draplin and Chris Glass in the assignment to create two logos, one for projects completed under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), and the second for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) team.

They look like they were done on somewhat of a budget, which is fitting. Second one looks far too fucking playschool to take seriously - I must admit that branding of government departments makes me slightly uneasy. I'd rather stay with staid crests and traditionally simple marks than feel like my tax dollah had been wasted on veneer. I'd rather the message was contained in the act or department, than deliberated iconically. I'd rather many things, but I'm often wrong.
- it's all part of the packaging, unfortunately.zenmasterfoo

They need some work...
There is good basis in there, but still very clunky, though i like that
the web2.0 aesthetics is gone.

I'm surprised Draplin made these. especially in light of that 'why america is fucked' video. odd.
- Maybe he's trying to unfuck it?TheBlueOne
- but those logos look terrible, no?doesnotexist
- draplin is a big obama supporter...i have to say though, i think he could do better. must have been a crunch.dewilde

I'm not crazy about either of them, but we are talking about the government here.

Is it weird that I like Joe Biden more than Barrack?.
Also why do we call premiers by their last names?.
- Yes—he is a moron of the Bush variety.
Because it sounds good?

These are actually U.S> Government logos, not Obama logos. We wouldn't have called them Bush logos. And for what it is worth, I like the Recovery logo.

I really like these logos. They look modern but old school in a way. I think the TIGER could be worked out a bit. Seems a tad weird to have DOT.GOV. Dot dot gov, I don't know...

Like the recovery one. Tiger one is a little too cub scout by way of Frosted Flakes for me.
Tiger. Rawr.

dot.gov has been the US Dept of Trans site forever though. Can't really change it now.

If these would have been done during the previous administration they would have looked like you were opening a strip mall in the suburbs.
