No really, that’s not created by someone who hates him. That is actually Andy Burnham’s campaign website.

Quote from the Slovak in my office – “it looks communist…”
It’s like a horrible knock-off of a Billy Bragg album cover.
Would love to, but our local network admins consider it a security risk
He’s clearly going for the “remember the design skills we used for Labour leaflets 30 years ago” approach.
Really, what are those triangles for? Does the “a” key on his keyboard work only intermittently?
Very early New Order.
According to my in-depth research, the red triangle was what political prisoners wore in Nazi concentration camps. The white triangle, erm, is the name of a white-supremacist organisation in DC comics. Damned if I know what the hexagon is for but it looks satanic if you ask me.
Used to be Minister for Cultchah, y’know. Wanted swimming pools and Starbuck’s in public libraries. Clearly a man of taste.
I said New Order earlier on but come to think of it it looks more like a Housemartins record sleeve.
“Used to be Minister for Cultchah, y’know. Wanted swimming pools and Starbuck’s in public libraries. Clearly a man of taste.”
Hey, there’s more to the man than meets the eyes. I could approve of lounging by the swimming pool with a good coffee (not sure if that’s Starbucks or not, although some of the cakes are nice) whilst reading.
If he is going to come up with more of these good ideas, Labour may find a new (and fun) direction.
He looks like a wimpy hellboy.
Uh oh… the hexagon is made out of 6 triangles. One of these triangles represents Andy. See how clever ‘be part of it’ is now? No? ha. Go on you know you want your triangle next to Andy’s in his big hexagon of togetherness.
Although togetherness would have been a good idea when setting the type… how about some tighter tracking and little kerning perhaps, i’ve gone all Feldman.
Obviously the man to succeed Mr Brown as the smile is almost as scary as the Gordon grimace.
“Quote from the Slovak in my office – “it looks communist…””
Well he would say that wouldn’t he?
He’s one of those immigrants I’ve been on about.
They come over here, they pinch our birds, their kids look likely to beat indigenous people like me to Number 10 . . . it’s an outrage.
yup, Housemartins, Billy Bragg. Go! Discs – which had them both – had a kind of house style that sort of referenced the soviet futurists in a ‘isn’t communism hip’ way.
i quite like it though …. but that’s a slightly scary picture
I think it looks like an advert for toblerone.
To be fair he gave an extremely stong performance at the GMB hustings, very sincere and down to Earth. I think his website design is too flashy, he needs to lose the geometric shapes and make it more straight-forward.
I’d say that it’s between he and David Milliband.
McDonnell is too far left (unelectably so), Abbot I can’t see her as a leader she lacks gravitas, Ed Milliband is a nice guy but again he just comes across as a nice guy and only a nice guy, Ed Balls is in a marginal now, their is no way he will be elected, it would be a disaster to lose him in 2015 which could happen.
I’ll say DM will win the leadership but you will find that the real contest is between DM and AB!
You read it here first.
Actually CM Carter, I think your interpretation is correct the triangle represents the singular whilst hexagon is a collective.
He still needs to change this, it’s too much, too much of a colour contrast for one thing and how does this represent his desire to re-connect with the Labour grassroots with this stuff, it’s too abstract and it makes me think of a snooker club advertisement.
