Why it's always a good idea to run these things past a committee first

It does make you wonder what the person who designed the logo for Brazil's Instituto de Estudos Orientais was thinking of.

Well, unless you look at it and have no idea why I find it comment-worthy. In which case the title of the BoingBoing article pointing to this may give you a clue of which "optical illusion" image pops into my eyes first.

It does make me also wonder what will happen with the Institute's webmasters notice the uptick in visits from BoingBoing and begin to look into why ... (in which case, I made a download of the logo, just for future reference).
