Trump/Pence logo raises eyebrows on Twitter
Donald Trump and his newly announced running mate Mike Pence have raised eyebrows with their new campaign logo.
Unveiled shortly after the partnership was announced, the campaign logo sees Trump's 'T' pass through Pence's 'P' as part of a flag illustration which accompanies Trump's flagship slogan - 'Make America Great Again'.
Bloomberg Politics reporter Matt Negrin was one of the first to comment on the updated insignia claiming it looked like "a forbidden sex act" with former Michigan representative John Dingell asking "What is the T doing to that P?"

Hecktic Media vice president, Andrew Hickey, got in on the comments with some "exclusive" footage from the marketing meeting where the logo was created and associate editor of men's lifestyle website Joe.co.uk, Declan Cashin, offered up his thoughts in GIF form.

Negative reaction to logos is commonplace these days with Trump/Pence joining the likes of BBC Three, Airbnb and CBBC who have also been mocked by Twitter users.
