Media Circus has an interesting commentary on the branding of terrorist organizations:
Ellen Butters [graphic designer]: This logo has the opposite problem. All the elements are integrated too much, to the point that you can’t tell what they are anymore. From a distance, you can’t really tell that those are fists, or that those are guns.
David Friedman [photographer]: True, but I don’t see any other terrorist logos with the fists straight out like that. So at least there’s some brand identity.
