much better.

i hated that beaver, and even the old coat of arms looked ancient.

Whalleyboy · #62 Posted **Apr 28, 2009, 3:45 AM**

the coat of arms is still the same lol

I like the new sign/logo much better. The old one reminded me of something like the welcome sign for a wilderness summer camp or Beaver Lumber or something. They needed a more contemporary urban image for branding purposes if they intend to have the region's second downtown and wish to attract more white collar businesses and investment.

BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CITY OF PARKS SLOGAN? aka the lamest slogan of all time?

Pinion · #66 Posted **Apr 28, 2009, 4:37 AM**

Old sign was better. New sign will look super dated in five years.

Whalleyboy · #67 Posted **Apr 28, 2009, 4:42 AM**

although we still have are parks lol

Does it piss anyone else off that Surrey calls itself a venue city? What a joke.

It has been a few years now... maybe 2? I kinda miss the old raven/thunderbird/thing that we used to have, but it's like the beaver. Old.

wow shows how aware i am of when things happen out in abby lol

Although I like how the Surrey logo is more modern, I don't think it was a good idea to use a building as a symbol for Surrey. There's gonna be a lot of growth in the city, and it seems a little weird to have a logo that says "Come to Surrey! We have this single particular building!"

In that way, I like Abbotsford's better

Whalleyboy · #72 Posted **Apr 28, 2009, 5:07 AM**

i like both of them its nice to see abby growing too

Toronto...

I think the surrey logo and their website is brilliant, though there's hardly anything appealing to my eyes these days.

Really? Because you guys have a volunteer training centre, you're calling yourself a venue city?!!!

Relax. Why do you get so uptight over such little things.

I think most of us would agree that Surrey is being a little silly

SpongeG · #77 Posted **Apr 28, 2009, 6:30 AM**

why?

I like it that building at surrey central has been quite significant in turning the place around and providing "vision" and all that crap

I agree. I don't think Richmond would change their sign and add that on.

The Abby one looks great!
