Fresh! Looks good...Sleek and Simple :) Good Job!

not crazy about the logo - doesn't really capture the identity of ferndale - too vague

Looks like a 4 year old drew it with a crayon.

The kerning between the R and the N could use some work, as well as the A and the L. I hope this is just a comp, and they have a graphic artist or agency clean this up.

i should go to cc meetings more often - maybe i sound like a grump - but it seems like there's an "in crowd" there and they just agree with one another. it's rather disconcerting.

I think it's an improvement on the current one for sure. I can't recall if there's been a launch date decided upon for the new city website? I'm guessing in progress if the logo is progressing...The website is really really impossible to use. Facebook/Patch give me way more useful information. :)

I can understand not wanting to be too literal with the name "Ferndale", but really there ought to be some association other than green.

Lifeflong resident here, does not like the logo. The logo should be more distinct to make one think of Ferndale and the years we have been a city.

New website looks great! I'm feeling like and not love towards the new logo. It's, at least, an improvement.

Woodward splits our city with a dash right down the middle. It would have been cool to work that into the logo. The two horizontal lines in place with the vertical spine of the F slash through like Woodward does?
I think a logo contest would have been AWESOME. Do you know how many creative people live here? The people could vote, and the top three get decided upon. Could give some attention to an artist, and the city wouldn't have had to spend however many thousands it could to create this new version. Which sorry, kind of looks like a 90's shoe store.

* cost to create. Fast fingers!

Catey- good ideas. : )

All I can say Melanie is that your expectations must have been really, really low....that logo is awful....

What a pathetic joke.

Nice! I love the look and the feel of the site. Your current site works so well, I can hardly wait to see the access on your new site.

Carey, I agree - a competition would have been great; we have so many artists in our community already.

What does the P stand for?
