This is probably timelined, but .....
City rebranding for Montreal, cost 487K to develop this, and another 200K to implement it.
I think it's hot garbage ....."Greater Montreal: Room to make it Real"

this is a really nice mark AND a really nice identity system, thought out and all. memorable, modern, plenty of room for develpoment. for a city, look how many cities have decent marks. but you probably think that one or two designers pocket 487K, so you probably won't understand.

If a good design helps generate additional revenue and enhances the repuation, why the hell not?Amicus

I've only spent about 2 weeks in Montreal (loved it) so maybe my opinion is too foreign -- but I feel like this doesn't speak to anything that was great about the city.

Every logo these days seems to be filled in with a bunch of different patterns.

pattern is the new black
I'm enjoying this trend, remember when everyone had to use a coat of arm

I'm currently working on one for a city in Texas. Wish me luck.
- I liked the logo by the way.hektor911

Etype - that's cool. well, hot as in texas. :-)akrokdesign

No design is worth half a mil. I don't care who did it or how long it took.
Add to that the fact that a city has a budget, and every penny spent on design is taken away from other municipal duties. I can understand re-branding, especially in such a cosmopolitan city, but $687k is ridiculous.
That being said, as a design solution, it's decent.
