i remember going through rural peru many years ago, and walls of buildings everywhere were plastered with candidates logos on bright, solid background colours - and infrastructure like bridges and stuff were all painted in the colour of whichever president/party built it so that people would know that they had funded it. i think the reasoning was that literacy was pretty low but political engagement was actually pretty high. in that situation, a pencil logo sends a pretty clear message to rural voters, whereas a circle with a k is pretty dismissive
She had the force of the American intelligence department, the existing ruling party, and almost all industrial capitalists in Peru behind her. It's amazing she didn't win.
She had the dead weight of a reviled family line and a truly shit-tier Pete Buttigieg level campaign strategy.
The Americans could have backed someone who sucked less. Or just someone they could lean on more easily. Run some rich schlub like Sebastián
Piñera of Chile who can just hold the bag for four years, while business continues to suck the life out of the state. But they had to back the woman who triggered the :maybe-later-kiddo: instincts in the native population.
I mean, time will tell on Castillo. He could end up as another feckless ALMO style loser. But his opposition was a clear signal from the Peruvian Right that they care more about fascist dynasties than running palatable candidates.
Love how Castillo's logo is the thing he is going to do, while Fujimori's logo is just her first initial lmao

Color coded public works is a neat idea actually.
High Schools in my neighborhood were named "Clements", "Dulles", and "Bush".
The big intercontinental airport was also "Bush". We've got a bunch of local public buildings named after notable figures.
Then there's the hold-over shit from the 1920s, when segregation went into high gear.
Like... yeah, we already do this. But a lot of what we advertise is just a parade of assholes.
I can just feel them looking down on me.
Strange things are afoot at the circle k
Totally weird and off trend, your logo being your initial is some almost-monarchist shit
I mean, our boy was very lucky they picked such dogshit candidate to compete with him. Her campaign and, basically all her, is horrible
