I didn’t realise the war on terror was against Chewbacca. That said, I laughed my ass off. At least the CIA has a sense of humor.

I’m not sure which is worse: this cartoonish piece of garbage, or the fact that commenters are suggesting a Christian cross as a replacement (as well as the desecration of Muslim holy sites). Please tell me that’s a self-deprecating parody, and not your real opinion.

The only way this logo could be improved is if they had a little comic book word bubble coming from his mouth. In it would just say “Grrrrrrrrr.”

What fourth grader drew this? That’s quite possibly the worst logo I’ve ever seen. Wow.

I spent 30+ years of my life in graphic design, 14 of those in my own business. Logo design was my specialty. I was damn good!

This is the most pitiful, juvenile, imbecilic excuse for professional logo design I have ever seen!!!

No wonder we’re not taken seriously. The CIA should be disbanded, and not just because of a stupid logo.

The terrorist in the image looks more like Batman than an Imam.

Those people are very confused.

So the CIA thinks terrorists look like Gingerbread Men? I’m surprised it doesn’t have any sprinkles on it.

I want my damned tax money back, first.

And, second:

Where they hell is this supposed to be posted?

Waziristan?

Don’t we know terrorists are illegal already?

It’s as if they’re conflating it with smoking.

Or making a wrong turn.

Fire whoever approved of this insultingly-infantile money-squandering drivel!

I’m writing my representatives about this folly.

Here’s the only logo the CIA needs to post:
