What to Know
President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace has been criticized and mocked for a number of reasons, and now, the logo is getting a lot of attention on social media. For one, people have noticed that it looks quite comparable to the United Nations logo. The difference is that Trump’s Board of Peace logo is gold and more American-centric.
Numerous critics have also criticized it for looking like obvious “AI slop” at worst, or “clip-art” at best. But are they surprised? Nope. Many have argued that the “tacky” logo actually feels very on brand for the current president.
It almost doesn’t seem real to people.
One critic on X called the Board of Peace logo “beyond parody” because did he really take the UN logo, make it a “tacky fake gold,” and replace the world with North America? It seems like it. And there’s another aspect of Trump’s Board of Peace that feels particularly on brand: permanent membership will cost countries $1 billion. This detail, coupled with the controversial logo, feels completely ridiculous to many critics, and yet it’s also exactly what they would expect from Trump.
“Charging $1 billion to join a committee with a recycled AI slop logo is phenomenally on brand for Trump,” one critic on X wrote. Someone else on the platform wrote, “Of course Trump’s Board of Peace logo is AI slop. Very few nonsensical things have ever made more sense than this.” After all, the Trump administration has been known to share AI-generated content on social media.
Sheesh the full-res version of Trump's Board of Peace logo somehow looks even worse.

Mixing a clip-art wreath with a pseudo-realistic, geo-textured map is a graphic design atrocity.

Though many people have argued that the logo is “objectively terrible,” hideous, and definitely not created by an actual graphic designer, one person said it’s “genuinely perfect symbolism.”
People think the logo would work better for something else.
Is it just me or does the "Board of Peace" logo look like it should have been lifted from Rodney Dangerfield's golf shirt? pic.twitter.com/1qwp1gtBo1

While it’s maybe not a great logo for the board, people joked about other ways it could be used. “Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ logo looks like something you unlock in an unlicensed FIFA game called World Soccer Legends or something,” one of them wrote.
Someone else said, “Is it just me or does the ‘Board of Peace’ logo look like it should have been lifted from Rodney Dangerfield’s golf shirt?” And a third critic wrote, “The ‘Board of Peace’ logo looks a lot more like a logo from Star Trek than the UN emblem, am I right?”
At the same time, some critics have argued that the American-centric logo with “Big Microsoft Paint energy” does a pretty good job of communicating what Trump’s Board of Peace is. “Trump’s Board of Peace: An international body in service to one man’s ego,” another critic argued. “One look at its logo says it all: UN’s globe and laurels, dipped in gold and stripped of irony. It’s Trump’s creation after all, and showing little of the world beyond North America.”
