| City of Vancouver to vote on new $8K logo
old left new right  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? 
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

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

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"?

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!

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?! 
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:

$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)
