Why is Graggor Richardson even looking to update the city logo anyways? It seems like everyone is okay with how it looks. I hope we vote him out in 2018.

Because it's not engrish enough

Looks like they're scrapping it and coming up with a new one with more insight from the local design community and public.

Typical government workers wasting time and money.

They seriously stop doing this now. Nobody was asking for new logo anyways.

Listen to gregors interview today if you can, I'm not sure what it's from but they just played it on CBC radio

What a pompous fucking clown.

I'd love to punch Moonbeam square in his jaw if I could get away with it.

Guy is such an asshat.
I've heard from previous friends who used to work at the city that he tries to act all smooth with the ladies but tends to come off as a sleazebag.

Personally, I see no real victory. Bike Boy is smart in the sense that he knows this is not a fight he should pick / stay on, since it isn't really a major issue, so he gives into public demands. If it was bike lanes or other benefit-transfering deals to his real estate / financial backers, there is no way in hell he'd give in.

And the city still wasted $8k on that word marque. Plus now we'd have to cough up significantly more for a new logo.

What does it mean when Gregor says the current logo "doesn't work in digital applications"?

When SFU changed their logo from the coat of arms to the red rectangle, I believe it costed SFU either $20k or $40k. I think I read somewhere in the school newspaper The Peak?? I don't really remember which # it is since it's almost 10 years ago now.

$8k is a bargain in comparison though.

SFU is a private entity.

i don't mind the price as much as I do how ugly/dated it looks
