Zen semiotics, US Air Force Security Poster Style
The US Department of Defense has a brilliant line in cheesy security
awareness posters of the "Loose lips sink ships" variety; here's what
happens when cliched 1940's style institutional art meets computer
hacking and 50's B-movie SF art. (The original was found in the wild at
http://www.andrews.af.mil/89cg/89cs/scbsi/images/poster8.jpg, i.e. somewhere
on a website at Andrews Air Force Base: but the link
below points to a mirror site in case somebody with a clue tries to destroy
the evidence.)
Clearly the same artist was at work who designed those comforting ubiquitous
surveillance posters for London Transport and the insane logo for Admiral
Poindexter's "all your database are belong to us" organisation.
