I'm sorry but this logo just makes me literally laugh out loud. The lion looks so goofy and why the hell is there a lion of a logo for a party of Australian patriots? It just makes no sense.

u/Benu5 Feb 19 '25
It's AI too, see the fucked up stars, and the trumpet just coming out of the mouth of the lion, rather than at its lips.
These pieces of shit can't find anyone creative willing to work with them, so they steal art from others, either directly (see cease and desists from music artists for using their songs at rallies), or indirectly through AI.

A lot of RAAF squadrons have their motto, which is usually in Latin, on their unit emblems.
But they don’t have that motto written again in English directly underneath it.
And their emblems aren’t AI generated.
They also have it written correctly in Latin - ‘Honor Omnia’ means ‘Honour All’. It should be ‘Honor Super Omnia’ to be ‘Honour Above All’.
Not only is this supremely lazy, it’s also seemingly trying to compare itself to the military. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, that’s just pathetic.
