Can we kill the DDR logo too?

OH! I have an idea for the replacement!

Imagine it: A shield, with a bunch of drug users running in horror from a CAP GA-8 shooting lightning at each of them, and in the scroll, it read, "DDR - USAF AUXILIARY" It would be epic. And would scare a lot of dumb high schoolers from doing drugs, lest the airplane attack them.

"And now we just take our Classical Mechanics equations, take the derivative, run it through the uncertainty principal, and take the anti-derivative of the resulting mess. Behold! Quantum Wave Equations! Clear as mud cadets?"
"No... You just broke math law, and who said anything about the anti-derivative? You can obtain the Schrödinger wave equations algebraically!" The funniest part was watching the cadets staring at the epic resulting math fight.

You know...the other day, I saw a commercial on TV.  Even without the company's logo being visible until the end, I knew within maybe 2 seconds what company it was purely because of the color, even before the narration started!  Now THAT'S branding.  Van wraps are not.

POP QUIZ: I am a company logo.  I am red with white cursive letters.  What company am I?

Sure - why not.  Either the current logo or your new one would be better than the weird "working for a drug free universe" thing.  I mean, let's focus on Earth first...

You know what makes me puke about that van?

The position of the 182 in flight. Makes it look like a kiddie toy, or flying around goofing off because of the way that graphic somewhat implies there is a smoke/flight trail behind it.

So, is the tri-angle thingy "the CAP logo" now? WTF?!

Ack.  The CAC has it too.

In addition to that, they're making their own seals:



I think we're teaching them wrong about branding.   :'(

Perhaps I've become a conspiracy theorist, but the triangle-thingy is only one facet of what I see as a move from the top to 'de-militarize' CAP.

But the perfectly good (official) triangles that we already have existed before we were the Air Force Auxiliary (well, before the Air Force existed too).  Regardless, de-militarizing our brand isn't going to help any. 

We've got to select a whole image before we go off rebranding things.  That's how it's done.

I thought that was created by a cadet with a major ego problem and isn't official in anyway shape or form?

For not being official, I've seen it on many things. Thats the problem with stuff like that, absent of an official guide of what should be being used.

Just for giggles and snits I submitted the following to the KnowledgeBase:

What are the official branding elements used by Civil Air Patrol? It seems like we get a new logo every couple of months. CAPR 900-2 only lists the CAP Seal, CAP Emblem, and CAP version of the new AF logo, and not the majcom patch, the triangle thing that appeared on on the cover of the Volunteer, or any of the other various logos that have appeared and disappeared.

I'll post whatever response I get.

*shrug* I just keep seeing more symbols.  It makes my head spin.  Now they've got the triangle thingy, but I guess at least it's not on these seals that they made.

Opps.  Missed one.  Same page.  Another triangle thingy (tiny one):

Where? The triangle in the center of the CAP Seal is proper. The "Triangle Thingy" is the one some buffoon introduced last year and dumped on the cover of the Volunteer.
