Well, that didnt’t take long – given the suc­cess of Barack Obama’s dig­i­tal and design strat­egy in our recent pres­i­den­tial elec­tion, some­one was bound to, ahem… com­pletely rip him off, sooner or later.

Sur­pris­ingly, the most recent exam­ple is the cam­paign of Ben­jamin Netanyahu, the con­ser­v­a­tive Likud leader run­ning for prime min­is­ter of Israel. The Times reports:

The colors, the fonts, the icons for donat­ing and vol­un­teer­ing, the use of embed­ded video, and the social net­work­ing Facebook-​type options — includ­ing Twit­ter, which hardly exists in Israel — all reflect a con­scious effort by the Netanyahu cam­paign to learn from the Obama success.

I wonder if that type is the Hebrew Gotham?
