As I was driving home today I noticed that a lot of the construction on Highway 4 here in Pittsburg CA has a relief image of the city logo being placed on the overpass and soundwalls and such.

my graphic arts teacher in high school designed this logo. its been used since the mid 70s here.



(the circle with the anchor and the hills)

so whats the logo for your hometown? like it? hate it?

Beh.

I'm not fond of it, but i'm not real sure what i'd replace it with.

i dont know what ours are but here:

Melbourne:


Victoria:

Hmm, more helmet logos to use!

the blue extender of the 'g' represents the reedy river, which passes through downtown greenville.

joel_fiasco, on Friday, June 10th, 2005 - 00:27:49, said:

very clever...


continuing the trend of exciting city logos...


Yes, just the text part

we have quite a few (in theory) here in Highland where I live currently:

Here's one for the Chamber of Commerce (I did this one!)



Its 2 C's (Chamber of Commerce) that makes an H! When faxed or converted to one color...it resembles a country road.

This one represents Highland as a whole...its a swiss sheild and a US sheild...big swiss influence here, even though its mostly Germans and Catholics now...



They also have a downtown one, but I can't find it though....

Minneapolis uses a two-boat logo, being the "City of Lakes":



Also, until I did a search just now, I'd never seen the city flag:

Here is the City of Mississauga

The building you see on the logo is our city hall

Live shot
Picutre of City Hall

The shape is based on the actual boundaries of the city.


Other points of interest, for me, the coolest thing in city hall is the council ceiling chamber

and here's the Region of Peel logo

I couldn't find a good shot of the logo itself, but here is a stitched version on a police patch.

Is it just me or is that a train heading straight for the river? and what is that yellow thing in the sky?

The train has magical flying ability to cross the river on its own, when there's a perfectly good bridge behind it.

Lowell is known for a couple things: the textile industry (during the heyday of mills in the mid 1800s) and its canals.

I think that yellow thing is a cornucopia. Not sure. Might just be a dirty cloud spilling from one of the smokestacks of the mills.

City of Topeka Logo represented on the Flag:


We have a water tower when you get off the Kansas Turnpike with a huge version of it. I'll have to find a pic.

Got this from the City of Ottawa's site.

Basically, it's an 'O' with a stylized maple leaf on it's left. The blue symbolizes the Ottawa and Rideau rivers, as well as the Rideau canal. The green is symbolic of our parks and the copper roofs of some of our older buildings.


The focal point of the logo is a stylized O formed by three streamers which come together, symbolizing unity and harmony and working together towards a common goal. It suggests energy and motion, reflecting the vibrancy of our city as well as its economic and business strengths - a city that's innovative and on the leading edge.

The shape of the streamers is reminiscent of a maple leaf and a hint of local architecture, while the colours blue and green - most frequently chosen by the public - remind us of the parks, green space and waterways that surround us.



The stylized O design is the centrepiece of the new flag. The look is simple, but festive. When it is flying, the feeling of vibrant motion is very apparent.

The flag's design uses the blue and green colours chosen to represent the new city. The dynamic use of colour is a direct reflection of how the citizens feel about their city. The large blue is symbolic of the rivers and waterways that are a part of life in the Ottawa area. The large green areas speak to our quality of life and the abundance of green space in the region.


Sesquicentennial logo

Growing up in a company town, we naturally had a company logo associated with it. Alcoa, TN.



I couldn't find a good copy of the other logo the city adopted, but you can see it watermarked on this page...

City of Alcoa

Here is the Calgary tourism logo, for everything in the city we use the coat of arms.

Fernandina Beach has an interesting set of logos.



That is the city's main official logo. I wish I could find one bigger but you get the idea. The cool thing I like about Fernandina is they a secondary logo.



Ofcourse the top one is used alot more but, the second one is used alot for city business

This is Manchester, CT where I live, best I could find. I go to school at the University of

Hartford which is in West Hartford. < all that is confusing.

Winnipeg's logo... pretty "meh", but I'd rather have "meh" than "ugh".

Schaumburg, where I grew up:



I'm not sure if the design means anything. I never really cared, to be honest. I know it's supposed to be "Germanic", but that's about it.

Arlingotn Heights, where I live now:



It's an A, an H, and a horse! The horse is reference to Arlington Park Racecourse, the biggest generator or revenue (by a wide margin) in town.

What do you expect? After all, it is Milwaukee.

ours is very ugly and very early '90s:

First, where I live:


That's City of Quilmes (pronounce "Keel-mesh"), Province of Buenos Aires (Good Airs), Argentina (Argentum Land = Silver Land). It's over the River Plate so you see the river shore. At right, there is a fire, it was for use as a "lighttower" guiding the ships that entered the estuary of the River Plate.
But Quilmes is named after the Indians Quilmes who battled hardly against Spaniards but lost the war near the current Bolivia. So the vindictive Spaniards sent them exiliated to the shores of the humid River Plate where they extinguished gradually.

Today Quilmes is best known for its beer, that is the logo:

Website: www.quilmes.com.ar

Well, as Swiss, I descend from an antique family originary from:


Heimiswil (pronounce "J-i-miss-Bill"), canton of Bern (Bär = bear), Switzerland (maybe was Schwaab, "Swabia" mispronouced). It's a very, very small village. Perhaps there are almost 50 souls.
The seal is about a tree with fruits over a gelid mount with three promontories. Big thing! Never a good story there.

The best thing there are... the Alps to be contemplate.

I think they could have picked an angle that better represented what the structure is 'spost to look like (a sailboat) but its a very cool building on the inside and on the outside. They don't have much in the way of famous pieces of artwork, but for a city that is very much in the realm of design (I'd put Milwaukee right up there with Chicago and New York in terms of Graphic Design Studios) and art, its a pretty neat place.

Until I saw this thread, I didn't even know we had a logo. Our town seal is on the town flag, which is the woman who founded our town in 1683 sharing a meal with the local Indians. But checking the web site, I found this:

There isn't much need to elaborate: the buildings represent the downtown area, which has been preserved in a colonial theme (the N.J. State Seal was designed here, George Washington slept here, and so on). The "L" is a tree, because we have a lot of them.
It's a shame - they neglected 2 of the things I liked about my town. One, the woman who wrote the screenplay for the "Halloween" movies lived here (the town's name in the movies was Haddonfield, but it wasn't in Jersey). Two, years ago, a dinosaur skeleton was found that, at the time was the most complete skeleton found in one site. But the logo makes no reference to Michael Myers or dinosaurs. Go figure - I'd love to see a remake of this logo with a serial killer and dinosaur on it!

At the top of the shield is a five point crown, the trademark of Hallmark Cards Inc. Directly below the crown, within the shield, is a pile of cannon balls with a keg of gunpowder on each side, representing the Hazard Powder Company, a manufacturer of gunpowder during the Civil War. A three-bladed propeller is on either side of the powder kegs symbolizing the Crestline Boat Company, a subsidiary of the Bigelow Sanford Company. The Bigelow Sanford Company trademark, a weaver's knot tied by a pair of hands on a pedestal, represents the nation's largest carpet manufacturing company at the time. A tobacco plant flanks each side of the trademark depicting the Tobacco Valley in which the town is located. A star on each side of the shield, centered within the double circles and the border, stands for the Colony of Massachusetts and the Colony of Connecticut.

City of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada

Sorry guys/gals, I was writing this and it turned out to be a bit of a history lesson!

Lichfield-England




The heraldic shield was in use by the late 17th century. Its heraldic description is' Or, a cross square pierced ermine, five chevronells, gules' The Supporters on either side are a later addition and a privilege granted by the College of Heralds only to royalty and very ancient families and corporations. On the dexter (right side, looking from behind) is St Chad, one of the patron saints of the Cathedral; on the sinister side is a robed master of St Mary's Guild.

The arms are ancient, the red chevrons on gold are probably from the arms of the Stafford family, Dukes of Buckingham and Earls of Stafford. Ermine is an ancient emblem of honour and purity.
The supporters refer to the See and City, St Chad became the first Bishop of Lichfield in 669.

The motto "Salve, magna parens", meaning 'Hail, great mother' is Samuel Johnson's greeting to Lichfield in his Dictionary, and is a tribute to Lichfield as both his native city and the mother city of the Kingdom of Mercia.


City Seal



The right to use a common seal was granted by the Charter of 1548. The seal portrays three dismembered bodies, depicting the legend of a massacre of Christians at Lichfield during the Roman occupation. The seal, as remodelled in 1688, is still used by the Council today.


City council's crest:



RMS: Vert an eagle displayed wings inverted perched on a Stafford knot Or and charged on the breast with three arrows barbs downwards two in saltire and one in pale proper banded gules on a chief Or a pale ermine between two chevrons gules.

CREST: Out of a coronet composed of four ears of wheat and as many acorns leaved set alternately upon a rim Or, a demi stag sable charged on the shoulder with a sun in splendour gold, mantled vert doubled Or.

The gold Stafford knot on a green background represents rural Staffordshire. The Roman eagle, also in gold, refers to the important Roman historical associations of the district (e.g. Watling Street, Ryknild Street and Letocetum, which gave its name to Lichfield). The eagle is also common to the arms of the Paget and Biddulph families, and was also the emblem of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, who died at Kings Bromley in 1057. The sheaf of arrows is from the arms of the Peel family of Drayton, to which belonged Sir Robert Peel. The chief is derived from the arms of the Borough of Lichfield, it consists of a panel of ermine between two panels of gold bearing the red chevron of the Staffords, which is the basis of the County Arms and also appears in the arms of the Lane family of Kings Bromley.

The special coronet of ears of wheat and acorns is of a type formerly assigned to Rural District Councils. The black stag alludes to the coalfields in the Cannock Chase area. On its shoulder is the sun, which, as the source of light and power, is common to the arms of the National Coal Board and the Central Electricity Generating Authority.

We have hills, a river and a top recreation department. I assume this is what the logo is.

My hometown of Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador. The building on the right is(or was) our paper mill and the three dots are the smoestack that stood next to it.

The green under the trees and mill represent the mountains that are also on 2 sides of the town, I know the blue is for the runway at the airport(one of the longest in Canada and capable of landing the space shuttle), I'm not sure but one of the blue also represents the brooks, ponds and bay that surround the town.

Wow, they actually have the Yukon's Best Flour mill on there. I lived in Yukon from 1991-1993.

Although I live in a suburb of St. Louis, I still claim the city flag . . .

Not the best version of their logo, but here's where I'm moving in about a month:



There's a real-life version of the logo on Glendale's signage in the flash animation on their Chamber of Commerce site

My hometown:


Nearest city (about 45 minute drive):

hometown is buffalo, ny



this isn't my HOME town, but it's where I live now....
greensburg, pa

A (sort of) sillouhette of downtown against Pikes Peak.

It says Oceanside Chamber of Commerce next to it but it got cut off.

New Ulm, Minnesota...where I grew up.

Diamondhead, Mississippi: The logo is supposed to represent the Diamond Head volcano in Hawaii, which is what the community is named after. The logo has remained pretty much the same since Diamondhead was formed in the '70s.

i like my town's seal. obviously incorporates the color orange, as well as the plow which signifies the town's farming background.

Guess that explains it...

...hearing that still irks the hell outta me, though. But I guess that's no different than half the words that come out of mouth either totally confusing or irking the folks up here in Picksburgh. Ah well...

If you were to ever to go to Pensacola, you'd do just like everyone else who goes there and make a b-line STRAIGHT TO THE BEACHES. Just make sure ain't no hurricane coming when/if you do go down there. Oh--and take a sec and stop by the museaum of Naval Aviation if you get a chance, not to mention Fort Barrancas (one of the nation's oldest surviving forts), as well as Joe Patti Seafood, if you like seafood. Best, freshest, biggest variety of seafood you'll find ANYWHERE. Damn near anything you can think of you'll find in there. And it's about five minutes from the 3-mile bridge that leads to those beach islands. Check it out!

My City has a logo with half a pine tree (theres LOTS of them arround here) and it says, "City of Lebanon, 1802" - the year it was founded.

Most municipal logos are boring as hell, but I love the logo for the City of Phoenix.
Apparently it's a popular logo, I have recently seen it on New Era hats and other stuff

I really don't know about other cities logos but here are ours they aren't the greatest but are OK
City of Buffalo, NY

Village of Orchard Park, NY

-The logo at the bottom of OP's is the school logo (OP Quakers)

There are a bunch of them posted here

If I remember right, Atlanta has a Phoenix.

(Seeing as how it was burned down..SHERMAN!!!!)

Adorning all of our buses, etc. I'm not sure how I feel about ours. I'm kind of obliged to like it, and the symbolism is neat, but it looks a little forced, and simple.

Nice to see another local member though

Jamestown who? Yeah, we started it all.

city of Eden Prairie

This is my hometown logo...Düsseldorf/Germany:
