Sploid reports that the official logo of the Cleveland Police Deaprtment bears a hidden pig. The shape of the badge itself suggests a pig’s head, complete with round cheeks and floppy ears. The flag image circles in the center perfectly corresponds to where the node would be. Mask out the word “police” on the bottom, and then “Cleveland” banner on top, and what’s left are two eyes and shading to complete the image of the ears.

According to area news reports, the logo was redeisigned in the late 60’s “right after the Hough Riots” to “change the face of the police department.” So here’s the question - is this a coincidence, or did a clever graphic designer deliberately enhance the pigginess of the badge logo in order to make a subtle statement?
