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.
