It could be worse: When Florence makes the Daily Mail, it's usually for a heinous crime or a sex scandal. On a down note, we hear that Florence Utilities now claims that a great big FU has always been its motto...
On a strictly serious bent, we have two more takes on the city's latest debacle:
THE SURVEY IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE CHOICE OF LOGOS!!!!! I saw the survey myself and responded but nowhere in the survey was there a question that said “do you want a logo that is offensive, basically spelling out the F-bomb, that would draw controversy nationwide. Nowhere in the survey was there a scenario that had illustrations of potential logos, showing styles or asking questions about the shape, form, color or graphics about the actual logo. Ms Eubanks is totally missing the mark here by referring to the survey as the reason for the the screaming F-Off!!!
Three things have been weighing on my mind all week.
1. Did someone in the group of people who actually laid eyes on this logo prior to be being chosen not look at this logo and see what 100% of the citizens saw as a suggestive and offensive logo that screamed F-Off or F-You??
2. I do not understand why the Mayor and Council don’t just come out and say, “Ok Citizens of Florence, we hear ya and we “F-ed up, and our new plans now will be to totally call for a do-over, scrap this terrible logo and start from scratch!!!” If they cannot see that this logo is really “just that bad, “ I am afraid we have all elected a Mayor and Council who are way too dumb to run a city the size of Florence, Alabama.
3. What were the logos they did NOT choose???

I've heard the company which designed this monster has offered to re-do the logo at no charge but I do not have any knowledge of this being true. If that was a company I owned, I def would come out with a statement as to why or how this was “THE LOGO” that everyone decided to go with.
My last comment is this: This logo should be the new logo used for Inspiration Landing since John Elkington has given not only Sheffield the middle finger but the entire state of Alabama because he sure screwed us all.
Now here's another chance to make your voice heard, courtesy of political pundit River Zurinsky:
The $25,000+ would have been better spent as a scholarship for UNA Art students. Was this even considered? Betterton is beginning to make Brandon look smart.
ReplyDeleteSome sources say you can, some say you cannot. The only thing I found is the city of Vincent recalled the city council in 2011. Hindsight is 20/20 but in 2004 with the exception of one they were ALL voted out and the one's back then were not nearly as crooked as the crowd that sit up on their "thrones" now.....THROW EM ALL OUT! https://ballotpedia.org/Recall_of_the_Vincent_City_Council,_Vincent,_Alabama_(2011)
