About

CIA Redesign refers to a new logo introduced by the Central Intelligence Agency in January of 2021 as part of its effort to diversify its talent pool and attract younger candidates. The new logo features the name "CIA" over a black backdrop and jagged white lines, reminiscent of the Unknown Pleasures album cover. Twitter users joked about the new logo by saying it resembled an album cover.

Origin

On January 4th, 2021, the CIA debuted a new recruitment website[2] to signal they were trying to shed their image as an "old boys club" and attract a more diverse, younger talent pool.[1] Part of this effort was the debut of a new, edgy and modern logo (shown below).

Spread

After the redesigned logo spread on social media, people quickly made jokes about how the logo looked like an album cover.[3] For example, user @SarahQuirm[4] joked, "CIA rebranding as a modular synthesizer festival in Berlin," gaining over 1,400 retweets and 16,000 likes (shown below, left). User @liz_franczak[5] joked, "CIA new EP out 02.01.21," gaining over 130 retweets and 4,100 likes (shown below, right).

Others made parody versions of the CIA logo. For example, user @girlrifle[6] posted an edit that superimposed the logo over the cover of Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, gaining over 100 retweets and 2,000 likes (shown below, left). User @bjorlax_[7] posted a parody where the CIA name is over a generic company design, gaining over 6,600 retweets and 117,000 likes (shown below, right).

Jesus Christ, they're a Goddamn government organization, they're not supposed to be "trendy" or "hip" they're supposed to be professional and getting their fucking job done!

Where's the sabotage of Chinese infrastructure in an attempt to get literally the worst regime on Earth kicked out, or weak enough to kick out? Where's the assassinating dictators and terrorists that fundamentally hate the U.S.? Where's the CIA I grew up hearing about?

Are they even doing anything actually useful?

"Effort to diversify its talent pool and attract younger candidates"
Yeah because im sure most young people who spend a good amount of time online and know what the CIA has done in the past and will continue to do, will want to use their creativeness to come up new ways to torture prisoners of war and accept bribes from drug cartels.
