It’s also kind of cool that the investigating corruption is kind of like Congress identifying cases when services are operating out of compliance with policy. Finally, it also just sounds cool.</div><div><br></div><div>The biggest drawback for me is that it may be hard to design a distinctive logo based on a big rock… But maybe that can be overcome.</div><div>Here are some more stylized pictures a logo could be based on.</div><div><a href="http://c8.alamy.com/comp/G38A8N/the-areopagus-where-the-city-court-would-meet-to-debate-matters-of-G38A8N.jpg">the-areopagus-where-the-city-court-would-meet-to-debate-matters-of-G38A8N.jpg</a></div><div><a href="http://c8.alamy.com/comp/GCYH13/the-areopagus-and-the-theseum-greece-circa-1906-GCYH13.jpg">the-areopagus-and-the-theseum-greece-circa-1906-GCYH13.jpg</a></div><div><a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1021/8371/products/XGL8_010.jpeg?v=1447268102">https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1021/8371/products/XGL8_010.jpeg?v=1447268102</a></div><div><br></div><div>Between salamander, raven, and baboon, I’d prefer salamander (could look like a cute gecko) because it’s just hard for a raven logo not to look ominous and negative. </div><div>On the baboons, there is some dispute over whether a collection of baboons is called a congress.
