"I...Like It!!" Chevy Chase gets credit for the line, but you for the logo.

That price for a new logo was absurd.  $46k for what is essentially a 12yr old level of graphic design?  They could have had a held a contest for high school & college students with a $500 gift card as a reward and gotten some decent submissions.

 

They need to probe hard between who had authorization for that contract and the people of the agency it went to for links.  If this was simple stupidity and not corruption in some way I'll be...well, still pissed, but astoundingly pissed instead of same old corruption pissed.

If they were going for the third grade look, they could have done it themselves.  Heck it only took me 1 minute to come up with my third grade version.

This makes a nice emblem for Mempo.

Actually, if you replace the bullet holes with the three stars, this would be pretty good.

If you by pretty good you mean crappy, then I agree.  :rofl:

My thoughts go the other way. I'd rather it be the general ineptitude of government than a conscious effort to steal from the taxpayers.

For some reason, it keeps reminding me of this logo

I saw this last night , I was floored when I heard what WE PAID for it.

[gjohnsoniv]

Anyone care to enlighten some of us?

[monkeylizard]

The pic I posted in the OP (sans bullet holes of course) is the new official Tennessee logo. It cost us tax payers $46,000 for some rip off "graphic design" company to come up with that. I tossed the 3 bullet holes on as a send up of the crappy logo and to let TGODavid have the opportunity to use my "graphic design" services for $46,003 dollars. :D

I really like this logo for most of the state, though I think memphis needs its own logo with more of a "Mogadishu on teh Mississippi" theme :)

You need to blend around the bullet holes better. You won't get over $100 for that one.

[TGO David]

LOL... we won't be changing our logo.  The fact that the State spent our money on that nonsense is deplorable.

[JPR1959]

How can you improve on this???  I have to wonder about our legislators if they had to spend their own money on this garbage.

Most of the legislators think our money is their money.

If that logo and the price paid for it turns out to be the result of a corrupt free process, we're in a lot more trouble than I envisioned.

I figured if the state didn't put any effort into it, why should I?

Quit trying to use logic when it involves government and money!

[Lumber_Jack]

So just to rehash this.  Each department within the state government had their own logo.  I guess the Gov wanted some uniformity.  To me it makes it harder to discern what department the email is coming from, or vehicle is associated, or shirt emblem, what have you.  

 

This is our old Logo.  

 

 

 

Our new logo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so each department will look the same with their name, and division out to the right.  You used to be able to tell vehicles apart by their door emblems, once they get switched it wont be so easy.

That looks like a bank logo at a glance.

I'm not positive, that wasn't their plan

[raildog]

I'm going to miss that old logo ot brings back so many memories of my childhood

This way your truck blends in better at Hooters. :D
