yeah, north carolina's "logo" has the vibe of, like, they wanted to attract tech workers and thus went for a "modern" "minimalist" logo and accidentally wound up with.... just that sans serif font

also i'm lol that indiana decided just referencing the indy 500 in their slogan was the way to go. lean aaaaaall the way into the one most stereotypical element of your state i guess. (i would've guessed some kind of basketball reference before the racecars, personally)
