City Logo Fail #2 – Menlo Park Spends $25k to keep its old logo
UPDATED: Menlo Park is a well off town in the east of California, it was ranked in the top 15 US cities in CNN’s “Best Places for the Rich and Single” to live (Thanks Wikipedia). It’s a good job there’s so much wealth I guess because when the council decided to investigate options to replace it’s […]
The Derbyshire Council Logo Tour
After bemoaning the quality of the new Amber Valley Logo yesterday, I took a look at neighbouring council logo’s, to see what they are offering. So here is my tour of Derbyshire via the medium of council logo’s starting in the south… South Derbyshire For me it’s starting on a high, South Derbyshire District Council stick with […]
More Amber Value than Amber Valley
I live in the borough of Amber Valley. It’s a pretty place with some history (thanks to Mr Strutt and his Mills ). It was also the setting for the popular, long running but exceedingly dull ITV show Peak Practice. In 2011 and with little fanfare but a lot of smugness, Amber Valley updated their logo and web site. […]

Fellow antipodean capital city, Canberra, has launched its own brand, logo and accompanying website, which showcases the brand by Coordinate well I think. As an extra bonus, like the Wellington logo, it’s yellow […]

When the city looked to create a new identity, launched in April, it based itself on a couple of things, the tag line “Absolutely Positively Wellington” and a yellow […]
City Logo Fail #1
One theme which always makes it’s appearance in my new logo alert stream are designs for US Cities or municipal authorities of all types. They rarely make it onto the blog as usually their quality or significance is relatively low. However with some regularity these logos have a story of some sort behind them, often […]
Eindhoven – an open source city brand?
From branding a country to branding a city in this case the Dutch city of Eindhoevn. Both city and country identities can encounter similar issues, governments, councils and business usually see the case for a strong brand to promote them but the general public tend to see the costs associated as a waste and usually […]
New Kansas City Logo
This is a corking Kansas City logo, linked to some baseball heritage (which I imagine is important to Kansasians[?]), but whatever the reasoning, I love it. After displaying the same logo for more than two decades, a fountain shaped like a heart, a new image for the city of Kansas City, Mo. was revealed on Thursday. […]
