XPetey Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Cincinnati's got a new logo - its first - that will soon start showing up on city vehicles, signs and letterhead. The local firm LPK Leadership Brands, which has come up with logos for Hershey, Pringles and Pampers, came up with Cincinnati's new capital C in shades of blue and green. Macy's covered the $75,000 cost.The logo won't replace the city's commonly used seal, but will elevate the seal back to its rightful place of importance and give it more "gravitas," said Meg Olberding, spokeswoman for City Manager Milton Dohoney.The "city of cincinnati" in lower-case letters is meant to show the city is inviting, approachable, she said today. The change in colors from dark to light around the C shows movement, she said, as in the city is moving forward.The logo was developed after input via surveys and questionnaires from employees, who consistenly said they wanted it to show pride."The branding idea is really about how we serve our customers," Olberding said, "and reflecting that."Officials don't plan to start converting business cards, letterhead and other signage right away, she said. Rather, things will be replaced as needed with the new look.http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2009061...veils+new+logoI really like it, although I still haven't seen a high quality version of this.

MVP Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 It's a nice... looking logo. But does it really distinctly tell you anything about the city? I mean, put that C to any other city starting with the letter C and it can show that the city is "moving forward". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, the more boring the logo, the more descriptive it will actually be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
