Vexioldrift

The gradual process by which designs, flags, symbols, and other physical markers of community or identity drift toward uniformity, losing distinctiveness through standardisation, simplification, bureaucratic pressure, or prevailing aesthetic norms.

The council’s new logo is another case of vexioldrift — stripped of history in favour of bland uniformity.
