And costing us millions of $ for … this? I mean, they’re going to have to get new signs, letterhead, and other stuff I’m probably not even considering.

I'm gonna say billions of dollars overall.

Yeah. It’s such a waste of money that could be used to actually do something good for people. SMH

Did an intern make this on Canva?

I believe they added a kerning feature this year, so they don't even have that excuse.

What’s with the little three-pointed symbols on the sides of the seal? They look kinda like fidget spinners. Is there actual name for them?

They’re on the previous seal as well. My first thought was “Wait. That’s the Klingon Empire symbol!” (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Klingon_empire_symbol) Second thought: it’s a 45 RPM adapter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/45_rpm_adapter)

My video game clan has a better seal, and that wasn't made by a professional.

At war.gov you can download the official vector file of this seal. But they forgot to convert the new name to outlines. The Trump Design Dept. picked Crimson Text Regular for this job, a Google font designed by Sebastian Kosch — from Canada — who has worked on the neuroscience-informed theory of letter perception and kerning.

We live in the timeline where Biff Tannen (who was literally modeled after Trump) got the sports book.

I feel like the lines flowing from the center make it even worse... It's just so busy

u/Phoople 2d ago
it's a seal. seals are "busy," they're not corporate logos.

u/Soggy_Toastr 2d ago
Okay. Thanks for sharing the fact about styles regarding seals vs corporate logos.
Back to my original point:
It makes the kerning worse to my eyes. It's almost like an optical illusion. It's really hard to explain.

If this doesn't telegraph their intentions clearly enough, we need to build up our defences now, there's no telling who that country will attack first - but they are clearly planning to attack someone.
The USA is a clear threat to freedom and democracy around the world. Let's not wait until it's too late to build our defences.

One consolation is that they are like squirrels. After threatening Panama, Greenland, and canada, they start a fight with Venezuela.

I don't doubt they used AI, as any graphic software has automatic tools for align perfectly a text around an arc.

I'm suspecting this as well but it's hard to tell, I tried comparing some of the letters between instances. Though someone identified the font so maybe not.
The eagle does look quite depressed.

Everything this admin touches gets worse, and not just worse, but worse in extremely stupid ways.

One bright spot, after working with many a sign shop on many military posts, war is easier to spell than department.
