Being bad at your job in a potentially fascist way is obviously worse than just being bad at your job; but does this set of logos just see weirdly unsuited for purpose even aside from any historical implications?
The logo on the left is just a disaster(can we achieve excessive busyness purely through starkly simplified geometry? Apparently we can; and while throwing in an incongruous pseudo-cursive font that appears nowhere else!); but the branding overall just looks like it was thrown together for a NATO wargame that needed an opposing force that wasn’t a thinly veiled Warsaw Pact reskin; or some made-for-TV sci-fi that needed either a serious-looking organization to play either antagonist or morally ambiguous protagonist.
It’s especially odd for an elementary school. It’s pretty common for high schools to have bellicose logos that reflect their football team; but those are both for schools that have competitive sports teams and tend to be bellicose in more or less exactly the opposite way these ones are: the graphic design vibe tends toward unthreatening or even slightly goofy; but the text proudly informs you that this is the home of the Fighting Mole Rats or whatnot; while these ones could hardly be less textually threatening; but just drip blandly hostile graphic design.
