This was intended for a Republican primaries gubernatorial candidate in Oklahoma. I tried to take into account having a symbol that wasn't stereotypical of the Republican party, but still reflected its values. The flame is similar to the idea behind Rand and Cruz's flames on their logos. It is meant to represent liberty. The star in the middle of the flame is also meant to be indicative of the Oklahoma State Seal. The rest of the design is intended to show patriotism through the red and blue colors used and the red "Governor" is meant to highlight the color of the party. This design worked better with this sans serif font as well. Overall, I also felt that this design was meant to be bold so it grabs the viewer's attention. My designs were eventually in the finals, but ultimately did not win.
