Is This a Good Logo For Our 250th Birthday?

America 250

Our country is nearly 250 years old, and there's an organization working on commemorating it. Web site: https://america250.org/

They just selected the logo above, and I suspect they'll get some pushback. I just know some people will point out that we're not the only country in the Americas, even though everyone knows what "America" refers to.

I have some sympathy for that objection. I would rather it said "United States of America 250" (too wordy?) or "USA 250" (too short?).

As far as the ribbon coiling around to make the 250, I like it. They could have it make the USA, too.

Then again, maybe it should be an upside-down flag to indicate danger and distress.

    I like the ribbon. I do not like the "America" part.

    This one was groovy!

    The ribbon is too vague for my taste. It could be read as 2S0 or 2Sd.

    So dated it should be embarrassing, but somehow it is just right.

Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
