The Laughing Man logo from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
Image source: http://www.thelaughingman.tv
The text, which constantly rotates around the center during the series, of the logo is taken from J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. It reads "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes."
The protagonist of the book, Holden Caulfield, utters this sentence upon deliberating to depart from civilization, leaving all the people behind that anger them; he imagined that "that way, [he] wouldn't have any goddamn stupid conversations with anybody."
This is a parallel to the problem of the Laughing Man in the series.
