Annex One Seals by Robert Reed
Shaenon: Skin Horse already has a logo, but the intrepid Rob Reed has been designing seals for the other departments in Annex One. Here’s the Department of Irradiation:
The Department of Jetpack Suppression (I really like the implication that jetpacks have been suppressed since the 18th century):
The intermittently glimpsed Bureau of Precambrian Defense:
The even less-frequently-seen Federal Office of Giant Leaking Containers:
And, because the good folks in the comments section decided that the building ought to have a Department of Stapling to explain where all those staplers attacking Tip came from, here’s its insignia:
These are so nifty. Thanks so much, Rob!
Channing: What more can I say? Love the dedication. It’s fan-art like this that makes me want to gratuitously work in yet other bizarre departments in the Annex One complex just so I can bait y’all into a response. Kudos, Rob.
When when military architects need explosive barrels for someone to shoot at, they call the Department of Giant Leaking Containers. They’re actually a fairly busy department.
Little known fact that the Dept. of Giant Leaking Containers is based out of Hanford, WA, where 90% of the toxic waste in the whole Pacific NW is stored. True story–I should know, I live near Seattle.
(And I’m not joking about leaky toxic waste containers in Hanford, unfortunately…)
First area that leaped to my mind, too.
Iunctio Quoniam Possimus…
Two verbs, it looks like; “Iunctio” would probably be “I connect” or “I join”, and “Possimus” is “we can”. I’m guessing Iunctio is misconjugated; my first thought was that it should be in the infinitive form, but Google Translate tells me “Quoniam” is “because”, so maybe Iunctio should be pluralized? In any case, it appears to be evoking GLaDOS: “We connect because we can”.
“We Staple Because We Can.”
