Oak Park, Illinois has created a new logo to help sell the city for tourism. The new logo is coupled with a new slogan: “Oak Park: Step Out of Line.”
The town is very excited about its new logo. It has stiffened the citizen’s resolve to sell their town as a tourist spot….
OK, enough with the build up. The logo has spawned some, shall we say, controversy? The only way to start the conversation off right is to see it first. So, here we go…
Yeah. Now you DO know what that looks like, right?
It’s sort of tubular. Sort of Blunt. Sort of… phallic. Right?
Right.
And therein lies the controversy.
Oak Park officials, though, are saying that they are “sticking with” the new logo.
Your government at work. A bunch of Richard Craniums, for sure.
