Donald Trump announced Friday morning that he had selected Mike Pence as his vice preidential running mate, ending weeks of anticipation setting the state for next week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

Shortly after that, a new logo was released and it’s…well, its interesting.

Almost immediately, the Internet began mocking the new logo, suggesting that it looked like something that we aren’t going to talk about on a family-friendly website. Let’s just say, to use a bit of Trumpian discourse, that it doesn’t look like a persons “hands.”

Within hours there were new versions, and gifs that featured some very interesting animations.
