So recently, Chester County released via their socials a new logo.

Personally, I think it’s lame. Apparently they designed it “in house” and with “community stakeholders“ or some such nonsense and I wonder did those people have glasses on? It’s not modern, it’s not fresh, and it’s definitely not versatile.

People said it looked like the Comedy Central logo, or the copyright mark, etc. One person put a screenshot on the Chester County Facebook page all the things it looks like from the Internet that they found:

One of my favorite comments was:

This is awful. It looks like a bad corporate logo and does nothing to honor our county’s history. We were one of the three original counties in Pennsylvania. Why are you trying to wipe out our history?

Next (below) also was a comment well worth reading, and it provided me with an impetus to plug something into ChatGPT quite literally and asked ChatGPT how they would design a new logo for Chester county and here is the comment:

Our current seal pays homage to our founding and agriculture.
The American Farmer, is one of the most iconic symbols of freedom in the United States.

It was American farmers that put down their shovels and hoes, picked up rifles and went off to war to fight for our independence during the Revolutionary War. Many historians estimate that farmers made up more than 50 percent of the militiamen during the Revolutionary War. Without them, it’s likely we would have no reason to celebrate this week at all. Farmers have answered the call to go war since the beginning of country and continue to today.

That sense of fierce independence lead to the settling of the west, the establishment of a dependable food system, and thriving economy. Every day, everywhere, your life is touched by a farmer.

From the battlefields to farm fields, farmers are our past, our present, and our future. Support local agriculture and its history, so much is owed to those who came before us.

So why does Chester County Government feel the need to erase them?

So I asked ChatGPT how they would design it. And I don’t really use AI, but I was curious to see if AI would be worse or better. this is what I got from artificial intelligence:

So I know all of the county commissioners aren’t unified on this, but when you’re the minority commissioner, what you say doesn’t matter does it?

What I don’t understand is how people could create something so generic and Walmart for a county with as much history as Chester County.

As I close this post, I have to ask what was wrong with the beautiful county seal?

Here’s hoping they get rid of their infantile spirograph logo.
