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.

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.

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.

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.
