IronChefShark Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 This sort of caught my eye yesterday when I was in Reno. I noticed a Nevada Dept of Transportation vehicle and the logo it had on itthis wasnt the only thing I saw there that featured the map of Nevada in its logo. banks used it, as well as social service agencies. Now I know in Texas it is extremely popular to use the state map as part of a logo. However from what Ive seen, it is just as popular in Nevada as well. In fact, the shape of the Nevada map works better as a logo element then the Texas map does. US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclopsis Joe Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I know of a School logo like that: I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFlag Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hey, that's pretty slick -- I had to look at it for a second to see the state outline. (Am I the only one thinking 'WGBH' when I see that, though?)In Texas, the Lone Star shows up a *lot* in logos and such, probably because it's a lot easier to work into a design than the state outline. Same deal with Pennsylvania's keystone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 The state outline of Illinois is used alot, at least downstate (ie not Chicago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Ohio's silhouette is frequently used as well. its mostly states that have an interesting and recognizable shape that are used in such a way, e.g. you probably don't see too many designers talking about how they've cleverly incorporated the outline of the state of Colorado in their design. That Nevada logo is very attractive, though, and i love those guys from USI. We play them in Ultimate quite frequently, and they always bring a fun game.

Swiss Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Florida's silhouette also is too popular among Sunshine State's designers... It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iccomics Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 washington outline is used too... i guessnews release: they recently changed their names to the Arab Center of Washington, their previous name was the Arab Terrorist World Headquarters, they thought the new name would be more appealing to outsiders, thus bringing in more interest in terrorist related activity.

Interesting to note that only nine use colours other than just black and white. Only two (California, Minnesota) use no black, while only one (Kansas) uses no white.

There really is no need for that. Not all Arabs or Muslims are terrorists. In fact, the vast majority aren't.
