-Type face of Democratic National Convention versus Republican National Convention. McCain uses Optima (on Veteran's Memorial Wall). "Typeface is the window into the soul of the campaign". The taglines (diagrametric representations of a speech) were the same for both Obama's and McCain's speeches.
-Logotype of Dexter - capturing attention using logotypes of well known magazines
