=== Town seal ===
In 2000, the town celebrated its [[sesquicentennial]] anniversary in combination with the Hoosier Millennium celebration. The town council authorized a contest to design and adopt the official "Town Seal" open to all residents and any student enrolled in a public institution within the town boundaries of Amo. Officials from the Hoosier Millennium committee at the [[500 Festival Parade]] in downtown [[Indianapolis]] reviewed the forty-two submissions on May 27, 2000, and selected that of town resident Randy L. Potts.

On June 3, 2000, U.S. Congressman and Gubernatorial candidate [[David M. McIntosh]] presented the finalized seal to the Amo Town Board during the Amo Annual Fish Fry.

The seal pictures the ol' Mill building with Mill Creek running to the left of the structure. A railroad track lies running to the skyline of Indianapolis next to a corn field. The seal is finalized with a freshly plowed field depicting the agricultural influence of the community. The outer ring of the seal states, "Town of Amo" and the year "1850" representing the town's founding.<ref>{{cite news |last=Town of Amo |date=June 2, 2000 |title=Town of Amo Resolution AR 2000.06.03.1 |work=Town Records}}</ref>
