    34 People Really Creeped Out By The Australian Border Force Logo

    Is it more Darth Vader or Hunger Games peacekeeper?

    Earlier today, Immigration and Border Protection Minister Scott Morrison held a press conference to launch the government's "Strategic Border Command".

    1. What really got people's attention, though, was the logo for the new Australian Border Force.

    Waiting for Scott Morrison. There's a picture of a 'border force' person and a draped easel.

    2. Some people thought it must be fake.

    Thought this was fake, it isn't. The creepy new faceless logo for Australia's 'Border Force' #auspol

    For the love of sweet Jesus, someone tell me that Border Force logo is a bad, bad joke #auspol #borderfarce

    4. Others thought they'd seen it somewhere before...

    5.

    The Border Force is strong in this one #auspol

    Border Force logo = Hunger Games peacekeeper. Seriously, Morrison? #auspol

    Australia's new Border Force logo looks surprisingly snug for Edvard Munch (HT @shauncrowe)

    Border Force is led by Cobra Commander? #auspol

    12.

    @leslienassar No, I think it's Magneto. As a child of the 80s Morrison would totes be into the X-Men

    13.

    Full size version of your friendly Border Force logo.

    14.

    Some people have seen Cobra Commander in the Border Force logo… I saw one of the Ghostbusters terror dogs.

    I, for one, am glad to see that Border Force is bringing back the Legionnaire's hat.

    16. Some people suggested improvements...

    No, that’s better. #auspol #borderforce @sarahjansencom @TheAviator1992

    #BorderForce - Cannibal Cyclops or Minotaur wearing a silly helmet? #youdecide #auspol

    18. And one person even wrote a review.

    I review the logo of the new AUSTRALIAN BORDER FORCE for you. #auspol

    19. But pretty much everyone agreed that it was really creepy.

    “so what we need is a logo that is blandly governmental, but also somehow communicates the supercilious evil of our immigration policy”

    20.

    Border Force logo just a silhouette of the portrait of its commander

    21.

    I wonder which graphic designer now has "Terrifying dystopian logo" on their CV.

    22.

    @olliemilman @Asher_Wolf Devil's in the detail (highlighted in red)?

    23.

    So that Australian Border Force logo is essentially a faceless blue horned demon. Well done, everybody. Five stars.

    24.

    Scott Morrison: “The new Border Force uniform shows what a warm, welcoming country Australia really is.” #auspol

    "australian border force: not at all creepy, since 2014"

    28.

    That "Border Force" image looks disturbingly Orwellian What is wrong with these people‽

    29.

    Just looking at the Border Force logo ... and can't help but ask the question ... "Are we the baddies?": http://t.co/QfdB832l79

    30.

    That 'Border Force' logo looks like a logo for a neighbourhood vigilante group which runs around at night bashing people with baseball bats

    31.

    HATE! FEAR! RACISM! IGNORANCE! BRUTALITY! By your powers combined, I am CAPTAIN BORDER FORCE!

    32.

    Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen a picture that say 'the banality of evil' as much as this

    33.

    Border Force is watching you. #auspol

    All hail #borderforce. #auspol @RichardMarlesMP
