The New Deck Chairs Are HereFor the Titanic. New York-based Kirshenbaum Bond & Partners - whose clients include Target stores and Meow Mix cat food - proposed a hard-charging donkey blasting out of an American flag.
"The use of stars shows that the Republicans aren't the only party with patriotism," reads the firm's entry in the upcoming issue of Esquire.
Below the image is a straight-from-the-'60s slogan, "Dems: power to the people."
Several in-your-face ads based on the slogan were developed, including a poster with the imagine of a blindfolded captive who appears to be Mideastern being guarded by a U.S. soldier. Under the photo blares the message: "POWER TO KNOW WHEN NOT TO ABUSE IT," and the hard-charging donkey logo.
"Our logo conveys a Democratic Party of strength," the firm said. "The donkey is more stallion-like and less buck-toothed goofball."
