In case you missed the recent excitement that only comes when municipal politics, bureaucracy, mock outrage and typography combine, the City of 麻豆传媒映画has approved a new logo, to the tune of $8,000.
Apparently the new logo is supposed to be So instead of signs reading City of 麻豆传媒映画in blue and green, with a flowery design in the corner, the new logo will read City of 麻豆传媒映画in a bolder blue and green font, without a flowery design in the corner. Much clearer鈥�
Not surprisingly, the city鈥檚 opposition councillors fulfilled their job descriptions by opposing the new logo, with NPA Coun. Melissa de Genova taking to Twitter to express her indignation.
Why didn't we incorporate our strong aboriginal history, mountains, water or other unique symbols in new logo?

Note to selves: Do not hire Melissa de Genova as our graphic designer or interior decorator.
Regardless of what you think of the new logo (we鈥檙e guessing your opinion will depend on whether you鈥檝e ever used the term 鈥淢oonbeam鈥� to describe the mayor), we鈥檙e most excited about the newspaper headline possibilities. For instance:
- 聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Font and centre
- 聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 All鈥檚 not quiet on the western font
- 聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Hard bore logo
- 聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Type oh negative
And our personal favourite courtesy of a loyal reader:
You guys can use this.
