Political Party Symbols in the United States

The Democratic Party

The Democratic Party is one of the two major political parties in the United States. The official Democrat logo is entirely blue as the color blue is now commonly associated with the Democrat Party while the color red links to the Republican Party.

Jacksonian Movement

The Jacksonian movement would eventually become the Democratic Party in 1828. Democracy was a popular term that was used by those who supported the movement.

The Republican Party

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 often used to represent the Republican Party and was popularized by the 1874 cartoon Third Term Panic.
