Description: Real Genius is a 1985 American science fiction comedy film set on the campus of Pacific Tech, a science and engineering university. The plot follows genius senior Chris Knight, who is tasked with working on a space laser, only to learn it will be used as a weapon by the CIA. Knight, being a slacker and pacifist, doesn't like the idea of working on weapon systems, so he applies himself to making sure the project fails. One of the various t-shirts he wears in the film is one for the International Order For Gorillas, a presumably fictitious environmental organization out to save the gorillas or something.
Description: A circular emblem with a black background and an orange outline. The center features a man wearing a yellow hard hat with attached equipment. The man has an angry expression with his mouth open. Text reads "PIPE FITTERS" around the top and "REAL MEN OF GENIUS" around the bottom.
