    I was also thinking can't hurt to identify the picture with NASA on it, or if want to get real fancy, make it a link to information about the research craft.

    I think this whole discussion is unrelated to our community. No one disputes the utility of UAVs in gathering info and I don't think this campaign will result in any restrictions on scientific UAV use.

    NASA has flown the ones with the V tail down, too. They've got at least one of every UAV out there.

    Opps sorry, graphical designer error, he also putted the V-tail facing down instead up.. Artists... ;-)

    I DIYDrones logo was used because predator is the most popular UAV. Is like the F22, the raptor is great piece of technology, but we don't mean war and destruction just the technology behind it.

    @ Patrick...What about the logo drone makes you think its not NASA?

    Someone else thought the underside static element was a hellfire, but thats not true.

    Is there something on it that points to the military version?
    True

    Moderator warning: please refrain from talking about politics, morality of war, or US policy in this thread. It will only lead to tempers getting raised and the community fraying and I will have to close the thread.

    Might want to change out the pic and slap NASA on the side of it, the one in the logo is an RQ-1

    You need to showcase the positive side before the Geneva convention gets in on the action. If we're already paying $10 billion in new taxes for "global warming financing" how far could outlawing weapons without a human behind the trigger be? If it wasn't for the drones, a lot of soccer moms like Cindy Sheehan would be dying in the Afghan skies or, heaven forbid, joining the military.

    There are tons of non-war uses for UAVs look at cropcam to name one! I have zero interest in military use, its interesting to see what they develop but only because the world military's are the ones pumping billions into these programs, "Future Farmers or America" can't afford millions much less billions to fund UAV developement

    I totally agree with Jori
