    The logo was widely lampooned as emblematic of the intelligence
    community's tone-deafness to public sentiment. Incidentally, an
    octopus enveloping the planet also so happens to be the logo of
    SPECTRE, the international criminal syndicate that James Bond is
    always thwarting. So there's that.

    Privacy and security researcher Runa Sandvik wanted to know who
    approved this and why, so she filed a FOIA with the NRO for the
    development materials that went into the logo. A few months later,
    the NRO delivered.
