I really can’t comment on the designers idea, but it really depends on the agency and the workflow. Sometimes you have these crazy stages in the design process where the client choses the design by committee, and you get the blandest dullest compromise of them all. This looks a bit like that. This logo certainly feels like that. There are a lot of schools in design, but it doesn’t mean there are no criteria. It really depends on who made this, how it was made and so on. I feel design really fits into our and any culture. Think of iconic designs like coca cola, or nike, or apple. Also everything you own is probably designed at some point. Yeah maybe it’s not “world peace” significant, but culturally it is, it’s a social phenomenon.
