The Burbank-Glendale Pasadena Airport Authority Police: Moonlighting As Your Friendly Neighborhood Pot Dispensary?
Note the green cross on their logo at their website.
Genius.
Your tax dollars at...sleep.
Also, the design is cartoonishly ugly.
P.S. Is that a drug scale?!
Aw c'mon.
Two thangs:
As you yourself have so clearly pointed out, we don't want to encourage government to employ pricey artists when a cheap piece of commercial software will get the job done.
Second, in the years ahead, Lileks will enjoy making fun of this, as well he ought.

AND well he ought. I mean, you're not wrong about it being hideous. But there are a lot of things I with the government felt good being hideous about.
Instead, they spend my money.

IIRC the green cross is a traditional symbol of disaster preparedness and industrial hygiene. And I'm with Crid; it may be corny, but it beats hiring a calligrapher at a six-figure salary.

Yes, I looked that up. And in Paris, it's a sign for a pharmacy.
But, in LA, it means something else.
