City of Las Vegas Logo



The new City of Las Vegas Government logo in my opinion is there in thought and concept but the end result isn't as great as it should be. The typography is in keeping with the clear 1960's Googie style they were aiming for but through the bad stroke on the V and the strange arrangement of lettering specifically the last S is odd and seems a little rushed.

The original logo was far more appropriate to what I would think of as more the corporate professional logo for the Las Vegas Government and I feel that the other is just trying to make the brand feel more youthful and modern but isn't quite successful.
For this visual identity, we choose the font Big Noodle Titling for the “CITY OF” type because of its wonderful clarity in any medium. Big Noodle captures an industrial feel with a modern, progressive flair that is perfectly timeless. The “Las Vegas” type originated from the font, Stay High by Syed Faraz Ahmed. We transformed each letter to embody the mood and style of the city. The imperfect flow and vintage, hand-lettered type gives the design a classic look with a contemporary nod to the glamorous Las Vegas of yesteryear.

The overall look is similar to the existing logo used for general tourism branding of Las Vegas, although this new logo again just looks like a cheaper version of this. I would have preferred them to have updated the existing logo, modernise and simplify it, perhaps loosing the stroke widths.

As of 2016, EE is soaring in profits, seeing a 10% increase to over £6.5bn in revenue in the three years from 2010 to 2013. More recently EE was purchased by the UK communication giant British Telecom Group more commonly known as BT. The success of EE’s new status as a highly successful mobile phone operator is underpinned by that of their successful rebranding strategy. This sentence itself is a relative contradiction as from the two years that followed from 2010, when Orange and T-Mobile merged the company traded under the brand name ‘Everything Everywhere’ this didn’t appear to catch on, rollout of this brand was slow, and to many people Orange and T-Mobile were trading exactly as they always have. Small trial concept Everything Everywhere stores were launched and the predicted feedback came back that the company was struggling to get the new bran...
