Vero Possumus

Obama Unveils New Campaign Seal

If Barack Obama’s new campaign seal looks familiar, it should–it’s a riff off of the official U.S. presidential seal.

Both feature an eagle holding arrows in the left talon and olive branches in the right talon, but Obama’s monochromatic blue-colored seal states “Vero Possumus” (Latin, roughly, for “Yes We Can”) in place of “E Pluribus Unum” (Out of many, one). Replacing the shield in the center of the eagle is Obama’s campaign symbol of a rising sun.

Also, in place of “Seal of the President of the United States” around the circular border, it says “Obama for America” and includes his campaign’s Web site, www.barackobama.com.

Obama unveiled the new seal while speaking during a Democratic Governors meeting in Chicago on Friday.
