New US emblem - a nuke and a hamberder

Yes because its associated with suffragettes and often see it on marches in Manchester

Bolivia and Botswana go through - will have to count all the different animals we have in the next round.

After a quality Group B comes a more mixed bunch.

Some of these look real damn Clip Art-y, the perspective seems all off.

Flying horse on Mongolia’s is a strong, strong element.

This seems to be rapidly losing steam, but I’m determined to see it through.

Mongolia storms it, with Bangladesh just about creeping through.

I want to love Solomon’s but it just isn’t executed quite right

Malta’s is very clean and aesthetic, big fan

Uzkbekistan is a clear standout in this group. Tough to choose between Malta and Nigeria for second.

Bulgaria’s looks like it could be a British coat of arms or something.

Happy to see everyone ignoring the imperial crud that is the US one, nice

There’s something not aesthetically pleasing about it that I can’t put my finger on.

Looks weirdly like the eagle should have two heads, odd placement of that escutcheon, bad use of white space between around the motif at the top-centre (too close to the eagle’s head, should have been smaller and better spaced imho)

Also, yk, actively stands for bad things rather than just acknowledging bad things in the past

I’ve never seen an animal look so conceited and entitled.

Ooh, I’m an eagle, ooh, look at me! I’d rather have the whacked out tiger from before cheers

I’m more than happy to vote for crappy places with good logos (I think the Union Jack was slightly underrated in the flag thread even) but yeah it just doesn’t look great to me - doesn’t really benefit from symmetry or interesting features, Latin gets a big meh from me and just doesn’t seem especially American somehow, even with a giant eagle centre stage.

Big fan of Uzbekistan here.

The framing is superb, nice and symmetrical in terms of the lines, colourful without being garish.

Strong effort.

Still can’t believe you lot didn’t let it out of the first group stage.

It’s great, and the line weights are all excellent, makes it really pop

Also the stripes in the centre make it look oddly like the eagle is being censored somehow.

I find it quite calming, might start looking at it when I’m stressed
