I'm sorry "RideKC" just kinda sounds dirty to me . . .
A more relevant comment from a Kansas City Insider:
"I remember when Willoughby was known for doing excellent work. The only excellent work here is convincing someone to pay you $80K to put a pair of headlights on a Weber smoker. THAT is impressive work."

KC Streetcar Authority approves branding concept
Deets:
"On Thursday, the Kansas City Streetcar Authority Inc. board approved a branding concept that will be used on the streetcar vehicles, station stops, advertising, posters and related items. The concept, branded as "RideKC," was approved by the nonprofit's 13-member board during its August meeting.
The branding was developed by Kansas City firm Willoughby Design Inc. as part of its $80,000 contract for branding and design."
That's good money for something that sounds like a 70s porno but riding along even more outdated tech.
Developing . . .
No self-respecting woman will go near that thing.
ReplyDeleteHere's the new TKC logo, and like the website itself it's worth about two cents.

ReplyDeleteRiding that train, high on Hopeaine
ReplyDelete$80,000 GREENBACKS for branding and design. Are you fucking kidding me?
ReplyDeleteThat does, for all the world, look like "headlights on a Weber Smoker"!!! $80K??????
ReplyDeleteSomebody be smokin' something with 80K...
ReplyDeleteRide Killa City

ReplyDeleteBingo-bango!
Ride it dry all the way to the poor house!
ReplyDeleteKCMO city government continues to be nothing more than a taxpayer-funded ATM machine for the roiling mob on the 22nd and 29th floors at 12th and Oak.
ReplyDeleteCome on down, bring your big shopping bag, and leave with a load of cash.
And then this bright shiny new thing will ride through the dirt, grit, dilapidated streets and sidewalks, and half-empty buildings of downtown.
World class.
Kind of reminds me of the days when you could shop stores and come across a rare laugher product made in Japan or China in the gimmicks section.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an upside down android logo without the arms and legs.
ReplyDeleteProbably get sued for trademark infringement.
Riding Miss Daisy?
ReplyDelete@ 3:59
ReplyDeleteAs in Addison DeWitt?
What talentless, worthless, space-wasting, homogenizing lemming came up with this?
ReplyDeleteHere's an improved TKC logo and it's worth four cents.
ReplyDeleteStill.....you gotta LOVE Megan's big ol' blue veined titty's!!!! Ann's are bigger but sag with old age.
ReplyDeleteIt's only $ 80,000
ReplyDeletePaint a few Target symbols on the Killa City Express and you got a moving shooting venue.
ReplyDeleteBear takes the first week... first week the Killa City Express will get shot up.
Fucking idiots and their train.
Why not "SLYRIDE" or " CORRUPTKC"?
ReplyDeleteCheap fast Crossroads cocktail lunch logos.
ReplyDeleteThe Weber grill one is a bit like the Android logo upside down.
Surely there are other design companies.
It should be a picture of a taxpayer bent over with a penis in his ass as that is what the toy train promises. Just another screw job for the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great logo ... It is very thought provoking and illustrates the consensus of global warming times the population of sub atomic meteorite fractions minus the silicon campsites of 6.45 plus the weasels of documented particulars.
ReplyDelete"Ride KC" -- SOOOOO EDGY. How about "Walk KC" to promote out city sidewalks. And Fly KC for the airport...
ReplyDeleteAnn Willoughby used to be a real talent. Though talk about headlights on a Weber...her "headlights" used to be SPECTACULAR, though these days, gravity has no doubt done its job.
Look out Addy's, One Show, Effy, CA, Graphis, et al...yeah, when monkeys fly out of my ass. This is, at best, mediocre work. More student level. Too bad, and just plain sad. She's phoning it in.
The city would have been better served -- and had something much more original -- if it were to have had a contest for area art students, with a $10K scholarship for the winner.
And saved $70K. It would have bought plenty of whatever that Approval Committee was smoking when they bought into this steamy pile of dog shit.
Makes sense. Your getting fucked.
