You've heard of the phrase, 'less is more', right? The one that celebrates clear consistent designs and prevents one from going overboard? Well, by the looks of things, this is a concept the designer of this Missouri county logo clearly ignored –and the result is quite incredible.

Don't get us wrong, we get developing a logo that really captures the essence of your brand is no easy feat, but we're pretty sure the answer is not to throw everything on there in such a haphazard way such as this. The longer you look at the design, the worse it gets with its lacklustre cropping of each item, the childish font and the uncomfortably off-kilter position of the eagle.
