City of Vancouver to vote on new $8K logo | News Talk 980 CKNW | Vancouver's News. Vancouver's Talk

The City of Vancouver is looking to change its branding.

A staff report says the city hasn’t changed its brand in 10 years.

The city hired a branding firm who put out the lowest bid for the project, which came in at just under $8,000.

The firm was asked to come up with a logo that’s easily recognizable to those whose first language isn’t English.

Councillors will vote on it on Wednesday, and if approved, the new watermark will be phased in over the course of 2017 to save costs.

And in case you were curious, one of the changes is a font change to ‘Gotham.’



I made one too.

For fuck sakes. You call that design? :facepalm:


I'd be ashamed to even have that as a portfolio piece if I were to design that.

i'd be curious to see the timesheet behind the "branding" work. I'm thinking:

Font contemplation - 5 hrs
Font focus group - 5 hrs
Front synergy - 8hrs

i like smoothie's design better

8/8

would pay $8888.88 for it

^dude, thats traditional... needs to be simplified

Nice, but shouldn't you be using the Simplified Characters to reflect the demographics of the city now? :awwyeah:

changing the color of the fonts costed them 8000$ LOL!
I say that the old design is much more appealing than the new idea.

That new design is so boring.

You can probably hire a student to photoshop a better logo at a much lower price than to pay eight grand to that "branding firm". :lawl:

Green and blue colors. Did the designer just copy the Canucks team colors???

You don't use Photoshop to create a logo. :ohgodwhy:

Photo editing software to change non-copyrighted text and pictures off the Internet.

Voila, you have your logo. :troll:

Too cheap to pay for Adobe Suite. Now you can make the new logo with MS Word. :awwyeah:

That's not a logo, that's literally just some fucking text. How the hell does that cost $8k and how the hell does a city have a "brand"?

It's not in vector form. OpieOP

This thread is just a reminder about why I did not vote for Mayor Moonbeam in the last civic election.

Fucking idiots in Vision Vancouver are wasting my taxpayer dollars! SwiftRage

Photoshop?!? You are giving them too much credit.

It looks like something out of MS Word. The process went something like this:

Owner: Hey designer, I want to make the lowest bid for CoV new logo. I'm gonna pay you 5 bucks for it.
Designer: 5 bucks? But that's like 10 minutes worth of salary?! :pokerface:
Owner: Better get started.
Designer: o... ok.. (I'm going to fuck you up!)

Designer opens MS Word
Set Font - Gotham
Set Font Size - 14
Set Font Color - Green
Type "City of" , enter Vancouver... well looks like poop... oh! I know!
Select "Vancouver"
Set Font Size - 24
Set Font Color - Blue

Designer goes smoking and thinks... (you want a 5bucks design? I'd give you a dollar design make sure you never win the contract you cheap fuck)


Owner comes back a few days: Great job! We got the case!
Designer:

VANGROOVER

Money plz, thx. Will take $500

$8000? For this?

Real estate clearly isn't the only thing around here that's inflated.

$8000 for the logo, imagine how much it will cost to change everything over (new logo on trucks, letter heads, signs)

fuck you, pay me

You forgot to apply typography :troll:

I can pay someone $5-10 outsourced online that can produce the same thing....$8k, gotta be kidding me.

That doesn't look like $8k worth of work....

this is how governments work.
maybe the business donated to someone in the municipal govt. and now getting it back.

peanuts in grand scheme of things

Anything by eldumbasso in mspaint > this crap

Here is my entry. Please give me 8 grand for it

Was there an outcry for a new logo? there's like 1000 other things the city could put money towards before this, priorities i tell ya
