Many Amazon warehouses have unique symbols to represent that specific site. VGT3’s symbol, painted on the entrance to the site and inside, is of a Tyrannosaurus rex, the massive carnivorous dinosaur, with its mouth open, holding an open book.

It's always been baffling to me that the bad guys choose symbols that seem bad. (Like the Nazi SS Totenkopf, for instance.) You'd think they'd want to obfuscate their evil shit with symbols that seem good—butterflies and rainbows and whatnot—but no, they're proud enough of what they stand for and what they're doing that they just put it on display for the whole world to see.

Incredible.
