The flag overshadows the text, and the designer makes the common mistake of putting the secondary text ABOVE the name (which goes against the natural eye flow and creates a slightly jarring effect) There's too much going on here, from the small text to the star filling in the A. I harp on this a lot, but it gives an unprofessional feel to the entire logo when the letterspacing is off. With so many competing elements, the logo does give exemplify his weak platform of "diplomacy" on the issues that need a more concrete stance. Grade: C My first impression is the feeling that this
