GOP Elephant Logo
Ah, the GOP Elephant! This iconic symbol, a majestic beast of strength and wisdom, has carried the Republican Party through over a century of American history. Its origins, like many things in politics, are steeped in both humor and happenstance. In the 1870s, political cartoonist Thomas Nast frequently lampooned the party with elephant imagery, often depicting it as lumbering but determined. The image resonated, and soon the elephant, once a playful jab, became the party's official mascot.
