No, Dominion Voting’s logo does not show a ballot flipping from red to blue

A years-old doctored image has recirculated following renewed conspiracy theories about the voting machine company.

As Election Day draws nearer, disinformation about voting machines has become increasingly common.

Dominion Voting in particular is a common target. Following the 2020 election, some people claimed the voting machine company rigged the election against Donald Trump. Those claims were debunked in court during a defamation lawsuit that resulted in Fox News paying out a nearly $800 million settlement.

But four years later, claims Dominion Voting is rigging elections remain rampant. Some images posted online even claim that the company’s logo reveals its intent to flip Republican votes to Democratic ones.

“The actual logo is a red vote going in, and coming out a blue vote,” read one post with nearly 50,000 views.

THE QUESTION

Does Dominion Voting’s logo show a ballot flipping from red to blue?

THE SOURCES

THE ANSWER

This is false.

No, the images shared online are doctored. The logo that Dominion Voting has used for years shows only a red ballot going into a red box.

WHAT WE FOUND

The images shared online do not show Dominion Voting’s real logo; they’re fake.

The real logo shows only a red ballot going into a red box, with no blue ballot coming out the other side. This logo is visible across the company website.

The Internet Archive also shows that the all-red logo has been used by the company for years. Captures in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 all show the same logo across the site.

Associated Press photographs of physical Dominion Voting machines, dating back to 2019, also show the same logo.

The fake logo first spread in 2020. At the time, a Dominion executive told the website Check Your Fact, “This is a doctored image.”

A spokesperson for Dominion also told VERIFY the claims are false, pointing out they had been debunked years ago.

As disinformation about voting systems ramps up, it’s important to remember to double check the sourcing on any claims about election fraud before sharing them. Read our fact-checking guide for tips on spotting mis- and disinformation.
