Great designs all over it. Kind of nice to see someone brave enough to mention when bad design is... well... bad design. Here's my two cents: The top half is very poor, sure, but it's at least semi-visible. Can anyone explain to me why the tag at the bottom is a light colored font in a wave, making it virtually impossible to see and even less likely to be read in the first place? Hard on the eyes and a wash from any real distance. If you can't read a logo from a moving car, you've just lost business. Honestly, I used to be accused of making too detailed logos that were hard on the eyes. Now, I'm probably on the opposite side of the complaint department, but nobody has to guess what the client is selling... which pays better. Just a thought. - James Dean, CLARK Marketing Solutions This is a really nice site. Great designs all over it.

Is this a rip-off of the crappy McPherson city logo? Which came first? And on both---WHY?!?!--I could go on but I've said enough. Let's get this logo replaced before it does any more damage! I don't like to criticize people, and this is not criticizing the designer, only the end product, which we all have to suffer from.
