I get that you think this FOIA request was a waste of time. However, I disagree completely, and I think we do have a right to know who came up with this rather creepy logo. It is definitely an eye-opener to me that "A little sinister!!" wasn't enough to discourage the final "OK" on it. Honestly, this logo should never have made it out into the world; I think the world would be a better place if an alternative logo had been developed and all copies of the existing one shredded, overwritten with zeros, degaussed, etc as appropriate.
You forgot to extract your tongue from cheek.
Perhaps my phrasing sucked... let me rephrase: The least the people behind this program could have done, was not waste further taxpayer money on a logo which was described as "A little sinister!!!" from one the people in charge of approving it. Honestly, as issued, I consider the logo disgraceful and un-American. The only silver lining to this cloud is that we have some transparency regarding its approval, which admittedly is not much of a silver lining. -- Shawn K. Quinn <skquinn@rushpost.com>
