Jeb Bush ended any remaining speculation about his 2016 hopes on Sunday, when he tweeted an excited-looking logo for his presidential campaign.
The former Florida governor is expected to speak Monday at a rally at Miami Dade College to officially kick off his run.
One day ahead of the much-anticipated announcement, Bush teased his upcoming campaign by tweeting out his 2016 logo. Featuring a very large exclamation point, it puts to rest any speculation about Bush's intentions.

The logo is the first public confirmation that Bush will be throwing his hat into the ring, save for an interview slip-up in May when he said, "I am running for president in 2016," before quickly backtracking.
Some were quick to point out that Bush seems to be recycling an old campaign logo from his 1998 bid for Florida governor.

The logo is also noticeably missing one of the most important aspects of Bush's campaign: his last name. Whether it's an effort to set his campaign apart from the legacy of his father George H. W. Bush and brother George W. Bush is unclear, but the omission did not go unnoticed.

Others applauded Bush for his logo's clean and simple design.
Why Jeb! Logo works well: clean, easy to see from far away, upbeat, and most of all; Consistent. #It'sAboutJeb #Jeb2016— mike murphy (@murphymike) June 14, 2015
Since Bush's December announcement that he was "actively exploring" a bid for the White House, 10 other prominent Republicans have announced their campaigns.
Despite tough competition for the Republican vote, Bush is well ahead of his rivals in one key area: fundraising.
He raised an estimated $100 million for his campaign in the first six months of 2015, according to Politico, well before any official announcement was made.
On Sunday, Bush also posted his first 2016 campaign video on his YouTube channel, titled "Making A Difference."
The clip focuses on policies he enacted as Florida governor, and ends with the statement, "America's best days are in front of us and we are going to lead the world."
