The Republican Logo
The mascot of the Republican Party is the elephant shown to the left, though many believe that is the logo. This stems from the Thomas Nast cartoon that depicted the Republican Party as an elephant. The actual logo of the Republican Party is shown to the right. It depicts the party's nickname, "Grand Old Party." The first use of this abbreviation is dated to 1884. |
