Does the "office of President-Elect" signs logos etc bother you?

yes it bothers me and the use of a seal by him at this time seems silly to me. However, Obama's overall strategy in the election was to appear "presidential" at all times, which he did very successfully. This was necessitated in part by racism though, so there probably is/was a basis for him to take on the trappings of power in order to counteract those prejudices.
