New Gallup Poll Logo?

Well, we all know by now that President Obama has won re-election, which is really bad news for some people, most of whom work for Gallup. They had presented big leads for Mitt Romney, but he kind of lost the election and everything, so they look a little silly right about now, because they were the only poll that didn’t look like all the others that correctly predicted the outcome of the election. So, what do you do when you look silly with a business move? Why, it’s re-branding time!

Yes, that’s right: it’s time for Gallup to create a new logo to distract everyone’s attention away from their failed polling, and seduce us all with intoxicating branding! And what better way to re-brand the Gallup Poll than to use a homonym of their name (Gallop Pole), and make their new logo into a merry-go-round horse on a pole?

Yes, you read that right! A merry-go-round horse on a pole logo for Gallup will make everyone become transfixed upon the festive look of their new logo, and everyone will forget about their recent polling inaccuracies! In fact, everyone will be so busy thinking about their childhood rides on merry-go-rounds, they’ll forget all about the election results and fall in love with Gallup all over again!

It’s just the right thing to do: The new Gallup Poll logo is a horse on a pole from a merry-go-round!
