Calgary's new logo for its 'Blue Sky City' civic brand has officially been revealed as creators of the design hope it sends a welcoming message and acts as a nod to innovation.
"Our city has been through many challenges over the years, but we are resilient and community focussed. When we come together, there is no limit to what we can overcome and achieve," she said. "As a city evolves – so too does its brand," said Alisha Reynolds, president and CEO of Tourism Calgary. To date, $1.7 million has been spend on brand development and rollout with the remainder of the funds to be spent over the court of the next four years.
President of Decide Campaigns and co-host of The Strategist podcast, Stephen Carter, says the logo sends a message of"looking to the future." "I think we're thinking of it right now as the beautiful sky that we see above us. But I think that others will see it as an openness of thinking and that I find pretty exciting."
"The average Calgarian just doesn't care that much about these things. So getting them to engage getting them to think about these things – it's hard to do and therefore the price goes up higher."CTV News viewer Wayne Webster in particular was one of those Calgarians upset about the cost. He has since submitted a freedom of information and privacy request to CED and the City of Calgary to find out how the $4.8 million was spent.
