The Remain side are also using patriotic colours. I'm more disappointed by the lack of EU flags on the material they sent me or thrust into my hands on street corners.
I have seen it nowhere near to the same degree

This is the problem. Unless you're passionate about living in a federal Europe you won't drape yourself in its flag. It'd be like draping yourself in a flag of your local council. You appreciate the work they do, but it doesn't instil the same kind of fervour nationalists have towards their country's flag.
The leave campaign logo looks like the DPD delivery firm's logo.
I was thinking LWT, and probably channeling Chinny at the same time.
That's the Remain one I think.

Vote Leave delivering us to economic ruin.

It'd be quite a clever subliminal campaign device. There's a big fleet, so the similarity would fix the campaign in the mind with repeated reminders

Voted! And Proxy voted! How exciting!
I've voted.
Man, what a rush.
Man, what a rush.
I've voted too... It was great to see how busy they'd been. I just hope the vote goes the right way.
Isn't it weird how veto is an anagram of vote?
Just voted, no problems for me, but my wife had a bit of a palava!
They asked for her name and address, and she was down as a removed entry!
After a bit of faffing about, one of them phoned someone, and then it came back that she couldn't vote!
They told us to phone the number on the back of the polling card, which she did, and was told there must have been a clerical error. The person on the other end spoke to the local people, and then eventually (after 30 minutes) she was allowed to vote!
Due to work and football practice we didn't get there until 20:00, thankfully we weren't much later, as if we had turned up at 21:45, it probably wouldn't have been sorted in time!

I've seen two Leave voters posting about taking a pen to vote.
I've seen lots of people laughing about it, but very little people actual doing it.
It was mentioned on twitter that the same people who are terrified of a gov conspiracy so need to use pens, are voting to urge that same gov to take control.

There were pens at my polling station
That's for crowd control.
I'm trying something different tonight and watching ITV. I quite like Tom Bradby and Robert Peston.

Also it's quite funny as pretty much every TV person is going "We literally have no idea whatsoever about anything at all so far".
It's strange not having exit polls and all that, to help with predictions.
