Say hello to the new logo and slogan for Atlanta. Opportunity, Optimism, Openness? More like Ugly, Fugly, Bugly…

Isn’t it just, thankfully My-Lanta has a few alternatives… This one being my favourite

Ugh. FuttBugly!

I’d like to know what kind of cash that stain cost the city.

Apparently it cost $15m

Where did you get that number? What would be your alternative?

It cost less than $2 million to create and most of the Campaign was created by volunteers throughout the city. People make up these huge numbers but have no idea what the real cost was. It’s one thing to express an opiniong on if you like something or not, but making up stuff and being completely ignorant to the facts is just wrong.

I’m just quoting figures I read on the Atlanta Metroblog… Personally I don’t care if it’s $15m of $15, it’s still a bag of shit.
