The city struck a nerve and won me over. Interestingly enough, I always mention the <I>lack</I> of traditional signage as one of the characteristic charms of the place. I guess I'll have to backpedal on that one detail when urging visitors to South America to find their way to Valparaiso.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198903954394494705.post-42359179190316149012008-07-30T14:39:00.000-04:002008-07-30T14:39:00.000-04:00If you come up with a new logo like that, I'll tel...If you come up with a new logo like that, I'll tell you where to go to get a punch in the face :)<BR/><BR/>I'm also surprised the signs haven't been vandalised.

I also noticed the new signs on Pedro Montt. I am amazed that they haven't been vandalized -since the trash cans outside my apartment frequently get bashed to pieces. My theory is that maybe everyone is too busy wondering why they look like a spaceship dropped them off to vandalize them.Real Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871695288037153588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198903954394494705.post-84596191572053495392008-07-21T22:01:00.000-04:002008-07-21T22:01:00.000-04:00It was the logo but thankfully it was pulled befor...It <I>was</I> the logo but thankfully it was pulled before it came into use. Still cost us$20k though. And the council is using the same agency to do a new one. Ridiculous and maddening-a Santiaguino agency comes up with a logo that has <I>nothing</I> to do with Valparaiso and then they get a second attempt. <BR/><BR/>They're getting paid again as well.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900725715325926065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198903954394494705.post-32244980340418533012008-07-21T21:20:00.000-04:002008-07-21T21:20:00.000-04:00You are seriously kidding?!

I always credited Chilean designers for being rather gifted in their field. Now, I'm not so sure.blackholeknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479228290679255664noreply@blogger.com
