>The Republican Party was formed in 1854 and six years later Abraham Lincoln became its first member elected to the White House. An image of an elephant was featured as a Republican symbol in at least one political cartoon and a newspaper illustration during the Civil War (when “seeing the elephant” was an expression used by soldiers to mean experiencing combat), but the pachyderm didn’t start to take hold as a GOP symbol until Thomas Nast, who’s considered the father of the modern political cartoon, used it in an 1874 Harper’s Weekly cartoon. Titled “The Third-Term Panic,” Nast’s drawing mocked the New York Herald, which had been critical of President Ulysses Grant’s rumored bid for a third term, and portrayed various interest groups as animals, including an elephant labeled “the Republican vote,” which was shown standing at the edge of a pit. Nast employed the elephant to represent Republicans in additional cartoons during the 1870s, and by 1880 other cartoonists were using the creature to symbolize the party.

the stars end up upside down and rightside up randomly. i think the reason is that no one in the GOP actually cares as long as it looks like an elephant with stars on it, nixon even got the colors reversed
Isaac Nelson
revised explanation
after digging around even more, i've discovered that the stars have always been upside down
Isaac Perry
Jacob Morales
Christian Cooper
wtf
Charles Torres
yeah, i haven't actually found a gop pin with the stars rightside up, i think that pre- post- 2000 image is just a made up meme
John Campbell
Brayden Turner
Guys, I think it's a pentagram guys. :/
Thomas Torres
That is interesting actually. What kind of a symbol should we adopt for our movement? A Phoenix perhaps?
Also, was the logo really like that before 2000?
Adrian Harris

i'm currently of the opinion that the stars have always been upside down officially
i've found one instance of the stars being rightside up, which is pic related, that banner is from 2004 and is more likely an error by the graphic designer.
the only people saying the logo changed in 2000 are some conspiracy theorists that seem to have just made it up considering the fact that the upside down stars can be traced back decades before 2000 on official campaign memorabilia

Explain to me, a non burger, why two american groups chose a fucking elephant and a donkey of all creatures to be their symbol?
Why not something more american? The donkey I can sort of understand? Its stubborn and doesnt budge on its position, and its an animal thats actually used and found in America.
But why the fucking elephant? Why not an eagle or something?
Jack Baker
in 1828 andrew jackson's opponents called him a jackass, so he decided he'll put a jackass on his campaign posters since that's the type of shit he does
Jason Brooks
the republican elephant originates from this 1874 political cartoon. after this people associated republicans with elephants
Mason Ward
Well they are all american parties, so it would get a bit confusing if everyone had an eagle as their symbol, wouldn’t it?
But they werent just randomly chosen animals, the donkey came from Andrew Jacksons opponents calling him a jackass. Political cartoonists started the elephant thing.
There was a bull-moose party for a brief moment as well, based on something teddy roosevelt used to say
Eli Myers
Upside down looks better and more dynamic
Jacob Martinez
Matches your sweet pentagram huh?
