Facts On Political Campaign Signs

By Patrick Howard


The only known way of persuading voters into voting for a particular contender is through massive campaigns. There has been a considerable evolution on how these campaigns are conducted. The changes on how campaigns are done can be attributed to the increased number of voters, a diversified change of democracy and the intense completion among contenders. Of these new ways of undertaking politics are political campaign signs.

These signs are special non-verbal things that are done during the campaigns to communicate the desired information. They are of various methods ranging from the general body signs to posters and banners. The sign used depends on the targeted people intended.

Different signs can be integrated into a single political campaign as it is believed the effect is better felt this way than using a single sign. They can be written words or abbreviations. There are others which are just pictures of a particular action or thing. There are those that contain general information while others contain coded information meant for specific groups.

Most of the time, party slogans are demonstrated in the form of actions that all the members understand. An example of such signs is the victory sign shown by raising the index and middle fingers together. Another one is whereby the index finger is raised as an indication of unity among party members and its supporters.

In addition to their use, banners have also been very visible in most of the campaigns. Regarding cost, they are expensive. However, they are very effective. Their beautiful nature makes people eager to tread what is communicated. However, the targeted voter cannot get the information if they cannot read and understand what is on the banner.

There has been no trusted research on the impact of signs on campaigns since all the contestants at any given campaign use these signs and still one will emerge as the victor with the others as the losers. However, it is true to state that they are imperative in making the voters aware of a particular contestant, their ambitions, and motto.

Most media houses can now easily help in fighting for their contestants of choice. This is because the use of signs has enabled the media to campaign using them even in the absence of the candidate who is being fought the fire. This is unlike the dark days where a contestant had to move from one media to the other to persuade the voters.

Political campaign banners and posters have created lots of employment to many people. There are those who are assigned the duty of designing them. There are those who are mandated to distribute them. Individuals with special drawing and designing talents get an avenue to utilize their abilities.

There should be a particular way of disposing of the banners and posters after the campaign period is over. After many campaigns, our streets are left with ugly appearance of posters on the most wall. The banners which most of them are made of non-biodegradable materials are moved all over. This pollutes the environment.
