This uproar is silly. The old seal has a shitty drawing of Hannah being shot to death outside a cabin by a British soldier with a rifle. It literally has the puff of smoke coming out of the rifle and her arms in the air. It is creepy and violent and weird in this age of misogyny and gun violence.

I like the new one with Hannah in lower left. I also like the retro mid-century vibes to the artwork and the 21 stars for the 21 municipalities.

The old logo even has a little kid watching his mother get murdered.

It is creepy and also hideous.

Just change it to the unofficial seal of New Jersey which is a politician hanging a taxpayer upside down and shaking out all their money

Lmao. The seal definitely needs to be changed. Not because of its content but because it’s amateurish.

I really like the option with the four quadrants.

I’m not sure how it’s misogynist but ok.

The new one and old both suck.

Dear gods this seal sucks. They need a revamp.

The proposed seal (scroll to find it) is ludicrous! An image of an aging, almost obsolete courthouse, a dated image of transportation at one end of the county, a statue of an unrecognizable woman, and suburban sprawl, less the housing.

The last one is offensive to anyone on the western 2/3 of the county... Many of whom dislike Elizabeth's prominence in county management

Nothing to speak of the role of sheltering troops in Morristown, which was almost as definitive of our history in the revolution...

If you need to change it do better..... MUCH better

Reminds me of something you would see in Pawnee town hall.

Wait Morristown isn't in Union County? Or am I missing something in what you meant?

Most people who don't wake up in the morning and repeatedly smack themselves in the face psyching themselves up to be offended and horrified by the dumbest little things all day, everyday agree.
