From pentagram.com:

Michael Bierut designed a poster for the Democrats’ Artists for Obama initiative that’s unlikely to ever be officially sanctioned. The 40 × 26 inch poster features a new name for each of the fifty states, each set in a bright color in the candidate’s now familiar Gotham typeface. “The poster can be interpreted as both arrogant and silly, and I doubt the campaign is eager to promote either of those characteristics,” concedes Bierut. “Although I think it’s fun.” Evidently others do, too: a print of the poster raised $625 at a silent auction to benefit the AIGA at the organization’s annual Design Legends Gala last month.

A few people have asked whether or not additional copies might be available. Well, they are—for a limited time, in limited quantities, and for the same low price ($625)—with all proceeds all going to Obama for America. To find out how you might get your own autographed (by the designer, not the candidate, sorry!) copy, send an email to obamaposter [at] pentagram.com.
