Fred Davis - designer of McCain 2008 logo and whose firm designed the 2008 version of Straight Talk Express bus - regretfully leaves campaign
The Washington Post’s Michael D. Shear reported on Friday afternoon that Fred Davis, the media consultant who designed the McCain 2008 logo and whose firm created the 2008 design of the Straight Talk Express bus, revived from 2000 - regretfully became the latest high-level departure from Senator McCain’s campaign. Here’s the text of the post:
Fred Davis did the logo for John McCain’s 2008 campaign and his firm designed the new Straight Talk Express bus. But Davis said today he has left McCain’s campaign to pursue other work.
“That is true, sadly so,” Davis said in a brief interview. “When there’s not much media, there’s not much need for media people.”
McCain has lost all but one of his media team, which was announced with fanfare in January. “These guys are the best in the business, and should I seek the presidency, I am confident that they will help deliver our message of common sense conservatism to voters across this great land,” McCain said at the time.
Now, Stuart Stevens and Russ Schriefer have left and with Davis’ departure, only Mark McKinnon remains.
Asked whether he would join another presidential campaign, Davis declined to say. “I have a clue,” he said. “But I did not leave [McCain] for someone else. Everyone really likes John…and the whole team.”
