Loving this conspiracy theory diagram from Brand New, covering the Missile Defense Agency identity. Yes, for those who are unaware, the new logo has received some criticism:
A slew of online publications are genuinely upset that the MDA logo looks like a combination of the Obama ‘08 campaign logo and the star and crescent moon symbol of Islam. Others have thrown in the Iranian Space Agency logo and the Soviet Union’s hammer and sickle flag, all as part of a series of codes that determine the agenda of the Obama administration. I threw in the Boeing logo just for kicks — hey, someone has failed to point out a corporate villain in all of this — and I also added perhaps the biggest oversight by the media, the use of Trajan. Cue Twilight Zone theme song.

This was one of the final three candidates for the Obama campaign logo: a transparent O that could be “masked” over various images.

✨ Introducing Boo! → https://boo.ai
Boo’s a minimalist, AI-based text editor for copywriting, note-taking, brainstorming, and all-around AI tinkering.
Think of it as Superhuman for AI, or Copilot for copywriting.
It loads fast, drops you right into the editor, and stays out of your way. Everything’s accessible via keyboard shortcut, and the UI fades away while you write.
We’re live on Product Hunt today, so any feedback/votes/shares would be hugely appreciated! 💜
