Let the battle begin. In the left corner, elliotness has ginned up a liquor label bearing the name of our addiction. What would the real Elliot Ness think? Who cares.

In the right corner, workerbee has worked up a frothy latte bearing the image of a giant birkenstock-clad foot bearing down on what is surely a Prius. Or perhaps it's a normal-sized birkenstock-clad foot bearing down on a tiny Prius. What would the real Elliot Ness think? Who cares.

Can I Vote for Both? | Report to Admin

By G-man Apr 25th 2008 at 3:06 pm EDT

Well, I like them both a lot... but the drinker G-Man has to select the ElliotNess concoction. Great job, workerbee and Elliot!

(And let's hope this poll doesn't slip off the main community page here before folks weigh in and vote!)

I'm seriously torn! But my vote goes to the workerbee's birkenstock clad prius-stomping foot on a latte.

I like both of them very, very much.

But I think the more colorful label should win. The one that seems more up to date.

More in touch.

Both terrific! | Report to Admin

Excellent artwork! Forced to choose, I have to go with the Birkenstock/Prius/Latte logo.

TOUGH choice! | Report to Admin

These are both great. My head says go with eilliotness's fabulous 'label' logo.

But, my heart says I must go with workerbee's Python-esque, ex-Prius logo; after all it has so many talking points represented.

Love them Both! | Report to Admin

But as a Prius driver...I have to endorse the mocking of the stereotypical Obama voter!!

Sorry, I should have mentioned, prius drivers don't get a vote. Conflict of interest. Also latte drinkers, birkenstock wearers, and alcoholics.

Aww Man so hard to choose | Report to Admin

Well my first gut instinct is Elliot's. It works the Talking Points Memo and "addiction" so nicely. In reading the comments though, workerbee's was really beginning to grow on me.

The problem is, while workerbee's logo is cool in its snark, (the monty python foot comment was too funny) I think the whole elite thing has been worked to death. If we are keeping this group beyond the primaries and into the general, I think we need a logo that can be in it for the long run.

So I choose Elliotness! The logo that will take us into the new millenia! (or at least until we elect Obama)

Just my $0.02 worth.

After much hemming and hawing I will put in for workerbees. I like that it incorporates the TPM logo. I don't think it's too elitist't because I don't think Birkenstocks with socks is elitist, even though a Prius is. Come to think of it though it is kinda whitebread (no offense intended). If I look at it as addidas sandals rather that birkenstocks it becomes a bit more inclusive.

After talking to my inner voices about my dilemma, the latte-sipping elitist side beat the crap out of the happy alcoholic. Besides, I'm in Idaho...the elitist of the elite states!

The logos are fantastic!

By benjoya Apr 28th 2008 at 11:14 am EDT

both are great, i lean towards the latte. love the white sock! i drink normal coffee and always wear running shoes, but i ride a bike everywhere, which is kinda like a prius.

Everyone's torn. I think we need a brokered logo convention and we should choose the chubby Allsburg baby.

workerbee takes the logo-off in a landslide. Sorry, elliotness. There's always 2012.

Is TPM more like alcohol or drugs? | Report to Admin

By eliyah May 27th 2008 at 5:17 pm EDT

I'm thinking more like crack. So, as much as I like elliotness's design, I'd have to go with the Birkie.

One suggestion for workerbee--is there a way to get a latte with the little fancy-schmancy crema design on top? Or even one of those deals topped with a squiggle of caramel sauce?

Does this mean I have to turn my Birkenstocks over to my higher power?
