gojetsgo Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I'm new here but the logolympiad isn't keeping me busy enough so I decided to come up with a challenge:Most logos like to show off a positive aspect of a city. My challenge is for you to make a logo that does the complete opposite. Examples you may use:L.A. SmogBaltimore HomicideDetroit Drive-ByPhoenix Team-Stealers (O.K. I'm bitter)Delaware Delawariansor come up with your own!Use any city and any sport you wish. Pretty much anything goes - just dont be overly offensive or racist. And HAVE FUN WITH IT! Up to two (2) entries per person.Deadline: Saturday June 12th, 7 PM E.S.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Like BASEketball! Those logos created vaccums though, so this could be fun. When I was in Kenosha we just simply called it Kenowhere. I wonder...I could be on to something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said OVERLY offensive. The nature of this contest is to rub at least a few feathers. Go ahead, bash Winnipeg, my home town. I'd enjoy it.

Speak for yourself Chotchie. Any Winnipeg bashing will be met with swift and sever military and moderatory action. Shock and awe, Triple T-style. J/K... I think it could be amusing, as long as we keep a humourous tone to these.But please, in order to avoid conflict, please respect fellow board-members who may not wish to see their city mocked. We'll eliminate the bay area from the running right away, if you don't mind. Joel has respectfully asked Detroit not to be used, so please respect that as well.

I don't have a problem with this contest, but I can see Joel's beef. Making fun of a lame aspect of a town's culture is one thing, but I think glorifying things that cause sudden death is crossing the line. And from what I've seen, Detroit HAS gotten better and is making a real effort to clean up its act. I don't think they get enough credit for it as they deserve.Now that I've said my piece... I present my Brookfield (MIL suburb) White-Flight logo.As you can probably tell, it took me all of 10 minutes in paint to come up with. I did it this way to show the lameness of Brookfield and the people who live there.

gojetsgo Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 OK... lets get back to some nice mocking logos...Most Canadians (especially western Canadians) will appreciate this one. For thos who don't know...the "toronto is the centre of the universe" sarcasm stems from many things, including the saturation of toronto-based news and sports all over Canada on all the Canadian networks, a lack of a political voice in western Canada, and maybe some jealousy towards Canada's largest city. In the centre (that's centRE in Canadian) is the worlds largest eyesore... I mean freestanding structure, the CN tower.
