Hey, I was surfing on youtube and found this cool video:
This video contains:
Barack Obama ran an unprecedented Presidential campaign - utilizing the power of design to help secure the seat of the President of the United
States of America. However, his iconic emblem, the ever present "O", holds more power than even Obama knows. Bill Whittle points out the dangers of
branding an ideology with an icon and how, perhaps, the powerful symbol will be used against the very man it built up.
Icon
The entire video is NOT about Obama, it is about Iconography. Iconography is:
1 : pictorial material relating to or illustrating a subject
2 : the traditional or conventional images or symbols associated with a subject and especially a religious or legendary subject
3 : the imagery or symbolism of a work of art, an artist, or a body of art Merriem

This vdieo talks about the Power and Danger of such tactics and exposes what we may not be able to see. It allows us to open our eyes to besic tricks
used by various parties.
Hopefully, this video opens more eyes
