Looks like a generic logo you would see on some Aldi organic oat packet.

I think it's better than that. The interlocking circles aspect was clever, surprising, and enjoyable when I spotted it.

  That aspect reminds me of the biohazard symbol. Not a fan, seems derivative and low effort, the foliage diapering surely obscures the text too much to make a good seal (I guess with a proper depth mask it could work). The circumferential motto is standard seal/coin design, of course. It's relatively good on austerity, mainly carried by the strong display type, or would be in the right colouring -- but not as a [wax] seal. Should be more emblematic IMO. That doesn't mean it can't be intricate fwiw. Just one dead butterfly would have done! /s

      What vibe do you get? The deconstructed 7-ring version has some cleverness, I'll give you that. The rest is really generic and lacks overt symbology of historic [royal/government] seals IMO. It doesn't matter though, they got what they wanted, Ive's name attached to provide publicity.

I think it' too busy, I have no idea what I'm looking at or what this is supposed to convey from a design perspective.

A complete tangent, but the design reminded me of one of the most beautifully illustrated children’s books I have ever read: Trouble for Trumpets. It was written in 1982 and still looks futuristic. Even at 40 I can leaf through it joyfully. https://petercrossart.com/books/trumpets/trouble-for-trumpets https://petercrossart.com/books/trumpets/trouble-for-trumpet...

  Thank you for reminding me about this book. It captived me as a young child. I must have seen it in a library. Unfortunately it seems impossible to aquire now, for less than a few hundred pounds.

Agreed, not understanding how so much can be written about something so generic
