Here's a quick look at a local controversy worth exploring . . .
Among Kansas City creative types the new logo is taking a lot of heat . . . Online polls are going back and forth between love/hate and they're mostly unreliable when coming from local corporate media . . .
But a recent salvo in the battle over the new Kansas City Logo is interesting . . .
Check it . . .
CRITICS OF THE NEW KANSAS CITY LOGO GROUSE OVER ITS DERIVATIVE STYLE!!!
On Twitter . . . One twerp makes it plain:
@JohnStam: Found in my old pictures: #NewKC logo on a Westport wall, in April. Which came first?
You decide . . .
The logo was admittedly derivative but is the similarity just too much?
Kansas City artist Sike worked on this group Westport Mural and when we talked to the artists she already noted the door handle similarity along with Negro League gear
The solution . . .
I don't know what her romantic situation is but TKC will gladly volunteer to engage in some deep-probing investigative work over drinks and candle-lit dinner at a 2 1/2 star restaurant with the new logo designer Emily in order to get to the bottom of this controversy . . . A conundrum that's really just about some people not knowing about "found art" and/or recognizing the old KC Monarchs logo.
Also . . .
I'M WONDERING IF THIS BLOG COMMUNITY CAN PUT THE "OPEN SOURCE" LOGO IN SOME UNFLATTERING AND R-RATED SITUATIONS THAT SPEAK TO THE REALITY OF LIFE IN KANSAS CITY??
Whatever the case . . . Among Kansas City creatives and Mad/Ad men . . . This debate continues to rage.
Developing . . .
Chiefs should change their logo to this.
ReplyDeleteTony you have has much chance with that blonde as the the kc monarchs have of winning the world series....
ReplyDeleteWhat does the color if her hair have to do with anything?
ReplyDeleteEverything else in Kansas City revolves around niggers and how not to offend them. So, why not use an old nigger logo??
ReplyDeleteIS the new logo a registered trademark? Copyrighted?
ReplyDeleteNew one is allegedly open source. But that doesn't mean an owner of another work couldn't claim infringement.
ReplyDelete6:51 IS ACTUALLY RIGHT.
ReplyDeleteIt's only appropriate that the work be derivative.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, Kansas City pimpsters refer to the City as the "Paris of the Plains" with "more fountains than Rome" whose best known shopping district features Spanish architecture, all the while spending money like Detroit in the hope that one day, we'll be cool like Portland, have an airport hub like Cincinnati and attract conventions like Las Vegas.
And the reality is, Kansas City doesn't even have the coolest, most iconic structure in the state. That would be the Arch in STL.
Or the way our Mayor and the other niglets and wannabe hipsters have embraced the bow tie.
ReplyDeleteCan't Peregrine come up with some type of more original, gimmicky fashion faux pas for them to adopt?
I liked the lapel pin.
ReplyDelete6:51 is just pissed because his mobile home slipped off one of it's cinder blocks yesterday.
ReplyDelete8:38 is a cocksucker and most likely, a fucking nigger to boot!
ReplyDeleteThis is so embarrassing
ReplyDeleteanother example of how Kansas City, its City Council and the mayor "sly" have absolutely no shame at all, this city is run based on whether these people got laid the night before or not .. what a fucking joke they are without an original thought amongst them even when they go out and pay someone else to do it for them
ReplyDeleteWhere does the designer chick go to get waxed smooth as a baby's bottom?
ReplyDeleteThe new logo is ass ugly. Really KC?? You couldn't do better than that??
ReplyDeleteShootings, gunfire, crime, the police can't keep up with it and the media can't keep up with it.
ReplyDeleteThis city is a fucking joke. A big lie.
The Mayor had used the Monarch's logo for lots of things prior to this. This has more to do with him wanting the city to adopt his identity than a strategic branding initiative. Logos that aren't rooted in an identity / personality aren't a brand. They're just pictures that don't stand for anything - hence the constant references to the doorhandles and Monarchs.
ReplyDeleteThat's really why some people, including me, say this logo sucks.
Shit the City could have hired some local favorite son for a $100 Thousand for a re branding study.
ReplyDeleteThen the "new brand" would have featured some drunk idiot climbing the fountain or goal posts at the sports stadium.
Anything else this city offers besides alcohol and sports at this time?
The chick obviously stole someones work.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder City Hall is celebrating this it fit's right in with their whole philosophy.
Lie, cheat, steal who gives a fuck!
@10:38 THATS exactly why the mayor used a bunch of yuppie white kids to put this together ... to take the racist overtones and slant out of it ... I hate this city and what its become, before our very eyes we have politically corruption all over city hall from the mayor to the council, we should make national news by having a recall drive for EVEY single member of the city council and the mayor then we can pay for an audit, bring the waste to the public and seek charges against the lot of them ... that would ring so well on the National Stage .. include that crook cleaver as well

ReplyDelete11:07 I don't understand what you mean.
ReplyDeleteWe interrupt this blog for an important announcement
ReplyDeleteYesterday millions of "shoppers" living on the government dole left their shopping carts in droves in checkout counters, exited countless foodstamp-accepting stores, and made Wal-Marts and other general merchandise stores into veritable ghost towns, after a power outage at Xerox Corp, made EBT usage in 17 states for most of Saturday impossible, and left tens of millions of poverty-level Americans unable to engage in one of their favorite pastimes: shop with other people's money.
Update:
ABC News-5 hours ago
Xerox: Access to food stamp system is restored in 17 states affected by outage.
Da Chiefs accept food stamp cards for beer and hot dogs?
ReplyDeleteI think the strippers hanging out in the parking lot do. Don't know about inside Chiefs Arena though.
ReplyDeleteIntellectual property theft.
ReplyDeleteOh wait there is no property now with the Internet. It's all "sharing" now that's right I forgot.
Going to the game now so I can sit in the stadium and watch it on my phone!
ReplyDeleteyou get what you pay for......
ReplyDeleteAll Proles unable to attend the games report to your television stations.
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me exactly where the mayor gets the authority to name a new city logo?
ReplyDeleteCome on Chiefs! Our group of Big Buck Mandingo Negroes is much better than that other teams' group!
ReplyDeleteThat's right let's focus on some meaningless logo so no one focuses on the corruption of city hall. Same as focus on ACA or Tea Party shutdown etc while they manage to fund or open what they want or deem essential. We live in a country of sheep blindly following whatever "party" they have signed up for when they are all bought and paid for.
ReplyDelete11:14 your are kidding with that question? If not it means does the hair on her pussy match the same color as the hair on her head. I do think you were kidding. I bet it doesn't and being a hipster chick, I bet it is shaved down there.
ReplyDeleteI'd eat that cunts pussy. Then fuck her hard until i cum all in her. If i knock her up....so be it. I got a coat hanger.
ReplyDelete1:07 - what does this inappropriate topic have to do with carpets and drapes?
ReplyDeleteHey Tony:
ReplyDeleteCan the parents of the blond and show them the output of your handiwork, namely 109.
Then, share with them your importance to society as a blogger.
