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

> seems derivative and low effort

that's pretty harsh and rude. I don't get that vibe at all when looking at the design

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.
