ABC’s Sunlen Miller provides a picture of the creepy ‘O’-shaped logo that will be stamped on projects funded by the “stimulus”:

Miller reports:

In remarks at the Department of Transportation this morning, Mr. Obama referenced the new emblems. “We’re also making it easier for Americans to see what projects are being funded with their money as part of our recovery. So in the weeks to come, the signs denoting these projects are going to bear the new emblem of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” Obama said. “These emblems are symbols of our commitment to you, the American people — a commitment to investing your tax dollars wisely, to put Americans to work doing the work that needs to be done. So when you see them on projects that your tax dollars made possible, let it be a reminder that our government — your government — is doing its part to put the economy back on the road of recovery.”

Transportation projects will apparently feature a second TIGER logo (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery)

If we’re lucky, perhaps Team Obama will make emblems uniquely tailored for each of its various projects:
