Price of our new Anna Logo - hang on!
« on: June 01, 2009, 06:10:38 PM »
Cost of a new Anna Logo = $22,000.

Cost of the pistol packing pilgram shooting a star outcome = PRICELESS

Yes, you heard me right.  Someone paid $22,000. for that.

Sorry, in all fairness I should have called her the pistol packing "pioneer"...

The breakdown is:

City of Anna  - $12K
EDC and CDC - $5K each
Total - $22K

Questions?

Who can provide a link to official documentation of:

Individuals who voted "yes" on the funding for this effort?
Individuals who voted "yes" to approve this particular logo/brand?
Individuals who voted "no" to either?

This will definitely affect my voting decisions in future.

Because:

1.  $22K in THIS economy for a logo/branding effort is absolutely inappropriate.
2.  This logo is inappropriate.

Thanks,
Cypher

Some good questions, Cypher.  Alas, I do not have the answers you seek.  I do, however, have a list of things I could get for $22,000 that would be far more practical and/or more fun than a logo.

A car
44,000 canned food items in donation to a local food bank
Fully paid 4 year state college education for THREE children
A boob job for me and two friends
1/3 of a house from Habitat for Humanity
The annual property tax assessment for all of my friends on my street.
A pair of earrings from Tiffany
18,857  bottles of Shiner Bock Beer

But, you know, I suppose that's the going price for a logo nowadays. 
No Mess Jesus!

Am I one of your friends???

$22k would've made a nice down payment on the City of Anna Honorable John Geren Jedi Master Public Library.

Seeing that a portion of that $22k came out of your pocket to begin with, feel free to pay yourself for a job well done!

I thought we were just using extra water trying to wash that nasty logo off of us...

Remind me again who was going to get that nasty thing tattooed on their forehead?

Seriously - did that logo REALLY cost that much? 

I wish our council would step forward as to who said yay and nay on this.  This is just outrageous in light of the current economic state.
