I have some new ideas for the Great US Seal:
Edited on Tue Jun-15-04 07:51 PM by HypnoToad


Soon to come to that cool Illegal Art website (look for the "Consumer Whore" logo parodying Starbuck's logo, it's a hoot!)

I need to whip out the ol' Photoshop program and update this seal to how the US is behaving in the New Century...

Now. First off, I would remove the tail feathers - they're a sick parody of exaggerated manhood, and those who are for America's policies have nothing to be proud of in that department anyway. O8) Next, I'd remove the talon clutching the olive branch - that's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too '90s, man (Clinton rocked in terms of promoting true peace, that is incontroverible.) In its place, I'd put a claw holding some more arrows. Next comes the Eagle head. I'd open up the beak to look aggressive (and/or starving) and eye to make it look rabid or hyper-anxious. And that shield? I'd draw in one of those machine things that pumps the oil. At the top, there's a gold shining circle with a bunch of dots. Now it took me a moment, but as you can see, the dots clearly compose the Star of David. Well, as this Star might be mis-interpreted by some nasty people out there in this nasty world, I promise to make the logo more true to US intentions by putting in a SUV with a glowing Cross in the driver's seat.

The seal on the right with the Pyramid. Well, that's almost reasonable - the tip of the pyramid cut off clearly reflects our desire to destroy the great wonders of the world. The eye is apropos as well, very 1984- or shopping mall-like. I might make the eye blood shot to reflect the drunken virtue of our fearless leader*, and I'd add more eyes peering from the sides of the pyramid to help remind us that we're all supposed to be watching out and being watched at the same time. Maybe some security cameras too if people can't figure it out by then. And also a jet overhead, dropping some bombs... That seems fitting for 21st century America. :cry:

Of course, both sides of the seal feature Latin text. I'd change it to English because the Aryans in power would prefer it that way. Can't think of what to say without going over the top though... Anyone have an idea for this?
