Apologies to Cracker Barrel controversialists but the choice to render a black-capped chickadee photo-negatively so it has a bright white cap and bib is by far the dumbest graphic design decision of the year

A proposed state seal in dark red with white text and images on it. A ring of text, letter bottoms inward, reads COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, with •1788•, number bottoms outward, finishing the ring at the bottom. The text is enclosed in a pair of thin white circles. Inside that are two arcs of banded feathers, left and right, and a little diamond figure, and in the center of those is the image of a plump passerine bird, with stubby bill and stubby tail, perched on a twig. The bird has a white cap and a white bib under its chin, which make it look like almost anything other than the black-capped chickadee it's supposed to be.

Meanwhile lil Rhody has an anchor, five stars and the simple word “hope” like a tattoo that goes harder than anything you’ve ever seen

They could’ve had the central circle be mostly white and then the whole thing would’ve been solved
