Quick, what do you think about when you hear the words, "Columbus, Ohio?"
This ought to get interesting. Looks like the same old people with the same old lack of ideas were interviewed.

I love this quote from the director of Experience Columbus:
“We are a diverse, youthful, knowledge-based community that is open to new ideas coming in,†Mr. Astleford said. “That has not been the tradition in the Midwest.â€Â
Now lets look at how EC reflects this very smart and forward-thinking sentiment visually:
It makes me weep. I can't imagine how much damage that godforsaken logo has done to perceptions of the city.
I *suspect* that someone thought that the design was clever in suggesting the architecture of the convention center through color and geometry. It doesn't - certainly not to anyone who hasn't seen the convention center, and probably not even to most who have.
It's just bad. I've seen carny signs I could take more seriously, but this... this represents our city!

Following the Indianapolis model? How many people knew that Indianapolis was the "Amateur Sports Capitol of the World" before you read that article? If Indy's slogan hasn't even penetrated the states next door, I don't think that's the model to follow.
I don't know that Columbus needs a slogan. Just start doing cool stuff and it will get known for whatever turns out best.

Umm, the people in charge of marketing Columbus are, pardon my Flemish, fucking retards. That's precisely why that article exists, but let's keep throwing money at these people. Reality check: you're so not Columbus.
