A brief online kerfuffle raged this week over a perceived similarity between a newer military agency logo and that trademark Obama O circle from the presidential campaign.
According to an initial conspiratorial theory, the newest logo for the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency (above, right) bears a remarkable resemblance to the Obama campaign logo. And is that perhaps some potentially sinister insinuation of the Muslim crescent in there too? Obama campaign Logo 2008
The answer is, simply: Not.
According to Richard Lehner of the MDA, the agency added the second, more contemporary, three-colored logo to its recruiting materials three years ago as a cost-saving procedure over the continuing five-color logo. The newer design was added to the agency's updated website last fall, where both now appear.
For those of us who in high school days may have been symbolically challenged by some Shakespearean lines, Lehner provides this explanation:
"The symbolism of the design is that it shows missile defense as a global system to defend the US, our deployed forces and allies and friends, as depicted by the path of an interceptor missile and a flash (not a star) denoting a missile intercept."
Another way to explain "missile intercept" is an intentionally premature explosion of an incoming enemy armament caused by our own missile, a super laser beam and/or a secret method that we'd have to kill you for if we told you about.

I knew it! That Muslim loving bastard George W. Bush was behind it all along.

On the other hand, the new Pepsi logo and lettering seem specifically designed to suck up your man love, President Mandingo.

Remember the good old days when you were only up to a dozen or so different screen names after getting your worthless ass run off of LP?
Was it only three years ago when you were "tune a piano but not tuna fish"?
Back then you had to change your name almost weekly, didn't you? Lucky for you Goldi has mellowed with age.
Ever think of getting a job and doing something useful?

Sure it was. I hope you kept a journal to keep things straight.
The best name you never used was tinfoil wonderballs. It came with a great avatar, too.
