Big favor to ask - Can anyone help me relocate a certain Democratic logo I liked

Saw it recently on my FB news feed, meant to save the image immediately, but just then things hit the fan in my world. By the time I could get back to the computer, it was gone. I searched up and down for it as far as I could go w/o luck. This happened late at night but I don't take Ambien so I don't think I ate it. Though who knows, I can do some passing strange things without pharmaceutical assistance.

Anyway, the logo rather resembled the OFA logo; it was round and had blue and white (red too, I guess) but it was still unique. I'd never seen it before and was quite taken. I like logos just about as much as political cartoons. This was special. If anyone has seen anything like that just recently perhaps, would you please set me on the right trail? I remember thinking how versatile it would be, suitable for any Democratic candidate etc.

Help? I'm uncertain whether to ask in an open forum anywhere because I far prefer the reliable sanity to be found in here. I'll post elsewhere on occasion, but I don't want to ask favors because it's like blood in the water to sharks.

But then I don't recall a lot of things so that might not be much help. But I really don't think it did.

This is especially late at night for me because something grand and wonderful (to me anyway) dropped in my lap by phone around 9 PM and I've been reeling from the joy ever since. I've already spent several hours not only scrolling up and down my FB page but also visiting and searching the most common news sources, hoping to find it from whence it came. No luck yet. But it sure was beautiful.

Briefly because it's not worth a separate OP even in the Lounge, here's what happened special for me tonight: a certain prominent person I happen to know has a pet charity back East which has struggled over a year to get off the ground. But he's been scrambling for funds and called tonight to say he'd just made new arrangements that should help him expand the charity's reach. Would I like to edit and write for an associated newsletter? I couldn't scream SURE! fast enough. He started to discuss possible reimbursement, but knowing how the charity has struggled from the beginning, I interrupted to assure him that I would gladly volunteer for sake of the cause. But he'll have none of that because he expects to be well able to start paying salaries soon. It would be light duty, too. He knows I can't handle anything full time.

Moreover, while his own politics seem a bit scattered to me, I know him to be a smart and decent person who had nice things to say after I reposted a favorite PBO picture on FB and said "I would take a bullet for that man". Partly because it's true but also to warn any trolls that I might eat them alive if they attacked. This friend said he'd do the same and considers the President to be a fine man even if misguided at times. Well, I'm not going to shoot my friend for that. If this expansion prospers and he gets invited to the WH, he knows who he'd better invite along to carry his bags, that's for sure. The one thing I couldn't forgive would be if he got invited to meet Barack Obama and didn't take me with him. I'd never get over it. But my friend's an absolute genius and decent, so I'm sure he wouldn't disappoint. I could live with it if I didn't make the photo op, but I fully intend to shake President obama's hand someday, in the WH if possible. Then I could faint in a heap on the floor and die happy in a spectacular, memorable fashion. Grand exits trump grand entries, did you know that?

I'm so excited about what happened this evening. Still want to track down that new-to-me-at-least logo for my collection.

Unless they took the image down from the page it should still be there.
