Yes: we thought the eagle was overdone (and seems to represent more Operations or Command). And our logo is pretty rough-draft, too.
Owls have been a symbol of wisdom - akin to Intelligence. This Great Grey Owl is a hunter-seeker and also has great vision.
We choose purple as a thematic color for Intelligence, since it was not used in the current color-coding for ICS (take a look online via a search engine at the ICS vests available now - you will see white, black, blue, yellow and red). So purple was available. We call it.
btw - the Mars candy company in late 2022, announced their first new color of M&M's in more than 10 years: Purple. Coincidence?
"Vigilia Pretium Libertatis" - Vigilance is the price of freedom. Vigilance seems a good single word to describe why we need EMINT. This is the motto of NATO's SHAPE - https://shape.nato.int/page13417157

EMINT should be shared/distributed to all branches and sections as needed - and treated equally and independently by command as any other branch/section.
We like the Latin word "Sapietia" to symbolize wisdom, like the owl.
Did you know a group of owls is called a "parliament"? We didn't, until we looked it up online. Interesting how different groupings of living things have different names in the English language. Could be worse: if we picked crows, then it would be a "murder". Click here for an alternate opinion on terms used for venery, from Audubon magazine. Photo by Taleon Pinheiro on Unsplash.
