A while back I was working with a Tea Party group to design a logo that represented the idea of engaged citizens keeping a watchful eye on it's leaders...
With this in mind, I wanted to create something that was reminiscent of a neighborhood watch logo. I wanted to use significant symbology so it had real meaning for people. Something that was visceral, something people could latch on to and explain to others with ease rather than something that sounded esoteric or even pretentious. So, I used a shield with an eye in the center with 3 stars set on top.
The shield often represents power, authority and protection, in this case protection from the intrusions of an ever increasing Federal government.
Each of the three stars represents one of the three branches of our government - Executive, Judicial & Legislative.
The eye represents the collective eye of "we the people" keeping a close watch on all three of those branches.
The phrase "are watching you" is a reference to George Orwell's book 1984 with it's phrase "Big Brother is watching you" but instead of Big Brother watching us, this lets Big Brother know that we are now watching him. The phrase is now "WE THE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING YOU" hopefully turning the whole paradigm upside down.
This is one of the proposed logos, my favorite actually. Now that I think about it, I probably should have used a different font for the sub-line.
Nothing has been decided yet so I probably shouldn't have posted this...however, I get the feeling nothing will actually come of this...

The "people"..... that has many many implications and your personal definition of it may be very different, however the "PEOPLE" are watching you are correct.
Makes me think of a story: I went to a public school with a very liberal bent. "Living Document" and all that BS about the Constitution. 1984 was on the required reading list for my Senior AP English class. They tried to frame it as those nasty Republicans (George W Bush was president at the time) were going to do this make our world like 1984... Thing was Orwell was actually talking about Socialism. The way the right goes authoritarian on us is not the same as the Left, and 1984 is about leftist authoritarianism. Particularly the Labour Party in the UK and the Democrats in the United States, and I picked up on that warning and still relate to it to this day.
Orwell has some great quotes, overall a pro-liberty guy. Makes the leftist authoritarian "it's the government's job/place" types squirm when they are confronted with almost his whole body of work was talking about them. And Thomas Jefferson and James Madison warned us specifically about them.
Um dude , I hate to burst your Right Wing bourgeois bubble but Orwell was actually a Democratic Socialist commenting on both Totalitarian Nazi Fascist and Soviet Russia which were both Totalitarian Statist , Imperialist Mixed Economies ( Not exactly Socialism in the truest sense which is for the workers , not the government , people ! ) . There are three different models of Socialism ( Well , actually there are multiple models with radically different ideas on how to implement their principles and whether or not to totally reject Capitalism, the fact that Karl Marx was a notorious flip-flopper on the subject didn`t help , did you know Marx was rich and praised Capitalistic innovation and social strides even while condemning it as " dead labor which , vampirelike , must suck living labor dry in order to survive " ) ?: Theoretical Socialism , McCarthyist Socialism ( Which is basically just a " scareword " of the Ultra-Right to demonize Liberals and Progressive Pragma without really knowing what it actually means at all ) and Applied Socialism ( Which due to a number of factors has yet to happen , sadly ) . Bet they never mention that in the paranoid , Neo-McCarthyist propaganda you watch ! Ironic , eh ? A rich dude founded the Worker`s Movement because he cared about his workers , not just himself ! Also , you got it totally backasswards ! It`s the bourgeois rich of the Corporations and Military-Industrial Complex who want more government controls to keep the working class down !They use a deliberate distortion of " Socialism " to keep the working class blindly obedient to their dreams of a Fascistic , Nationalistic Military-Industrial Police State . You know what Socialism is . Ya know what it really is ? Here`s the basic , non-propagandized definition as laid out by Marx and Engels in " The Communist Manifesto " ( One of the most feared books in existence more due to McCarthyist fear-mongering than its actual content ! God , I am so ashamed of my fellow Americans sometimes ! Can they not think for themselves without the help of some bureaucrat , politician , preacher , Military-Industrial tool , corporate fatcat , monarch or lord telling them some partisan bullshit they`re supposed to just swallow blindly lest they be called that dreaded word : " Commie " ? ) Socialism : The workers control the means of production directly ; a step after Capitalism and before Communism including the imperfect implementation of collectivist policies . ( Again , I stress by the workers , not the government and not some bourgeois politician like Obama ! ) Communism : A classless society including abolition of the government and deregulation of the market . Totalitarianism :Relating to or operating a centralized government system in which a single party without opposition rules over political, economic, social, and cultural life . There ! I hope that clears up this Neo-McCarthyist fear-mongering nonsense ! And BTW , would it hurt you so much to look around and see The World ( America , in particular ) for what it is rather than what you want it to be and accept that there is a better way of doing things ( And , I am not a total Socialist , I`m just not a blind Capitalist ) . Also , Jefferson believed in a combination of Agrarian and Materialistic principles ( Hence " Democratic Republican " ) .
