Wait. That logo seal doesn’t even have the circular text aligned properly. It looks like someone is still trying to master “type on a path” in Illustrator. C’mo

Which part? All looks circular to me.

  Look at "intelligence" on the right of the seal. It veers to the right side of the band it's in as the curve is not tight enough to match the circle. Really amateur stuff.

    Looks like there are two pictures. One has the unaligned text and the other doesn't.

      Link those two images please? (And why would you make a comment like that without actually linking which images you're talking about?) edit: I think this is the one that is aligned: https://www.airdomainintelligence.mil/portals/91/web_banner_newseal.png https://www.airdomainintelligence.mil/portals/91/web_banner_... And this is the one this isn't: https://www.airdomainintelligence.mil/portals/91/Seal22_png.png https://www.airdomainintelligence.mil/portals/91/Seal22_png.... In the second image, the first and last letters of the text "office of the director of intelligence" are farther away from the center than the letters in the middle, suggesting they haven't been placed on a circular path correctly. These images are also different in how they render the UFO, and how they render the landscape underneath (the first one has the land in blue and the ocean in white, while the second one has the colors reversed).

    Looks like they fixed it (might be off slightly still but hard to tell with an astigmatism:/) and flattened the two stars

the different seals on the page aren't aligned either http://telnet.asia/nim.gif http://telnet.asia/nim.gif

  I'd guess they haven't updated the old one (larger UFO) with the new one (correct distance between 4-engine jet wing and red arrow cutout, better lettering work)...

I’ve had people hastily publish (and print on merchandise!) my draft/concept graphics on two occasions. I’ve learned to deliberately deteriorate them now before sharing.

  That's a good idea, actually. Maybe at work we too should start delivering POCs to customers with large red blinking banners attached, so they don't mistakenly get the idea that it's a finished product.

The arrows are not aligned properly and the spy plane is askew. I assume it’s because the actual patch has nowhere that precision so they don’t care if it’s pixel perfect.
