The Internet is all a-twitter today over the debut of the Trump -Pence campaign’s new fundraising logo.

Looking for symbolism, some saw an American flag.
The campaign shared the graphic in an email soon after making public Trump’s choice, which CNN reported on Thursday, in a series of social media posts, emails and text messages.
“What’s the T doing to that P?” tweeted Former Michigan Rep. John Dingell, who is known for his sardonic sense of humor.
The presidency already has a logo – and it’s pretty awesome. And apparently, in trying to make the point that Trump and Pence were cohesive in the message they wanted to project, someone chose to combine the “T” and “P” so as to let people know the two men were connected. Their names were stacked below on top of Trump’s slogan, “Make America Great Again”. Journalist Mark Harris mused over Trump’s confusion on seeing the logo for the first time.
“Trump doesn’t respond well to advice from the outside”, Speece said. “The final one won’t be unveiled until the convention”. And he didn’t even support Trump earlier this year.
Warren, who is believed to be on the short list as Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential pick, wasn’t finished.
Others highlighted its similarity to an Aryan Nations logo.

“A simple logo lends itself to comparisons, meme-style remixes, and rip-off allegations”, said Draplin in an interview with Wired. “It also invites the most exhausted form of graphic design criticism: people saying they could’ve done that themselves, and better, for less money!”
