City of Kansas City, MO, selects 1800MyLogo to design logo for new initiative

November 7th, 2002 – City of Kansas City, MO, selects 1-800-MyLogo, Inc. to design a logo for a new initiative. This initiative is a comprehensive business technology solution used by the local government of Kansas City to make citywide processes more efficient.

Kansas City is described as “the real America”. From the rich folkways of the Native American to the soulful improvisation of the jazz musician, Kansas City opens its heart to visitors. Kansas City offers an interesting combination between big-city fun and small-town hospitality. World-famous art, America's first planned shopping center, delicious steak and mouth-watering barbecue are just a few elements visitors can enjoy. Driving down rural roads past lush cornfields, standing face-to-face with a bison and her calf, or relaxing and reflecting awhile at a sparkling fountain, are a variety of things that visitors can find in Kansas City.

Kansas City’s openness to information technology is well recognized among other US local government institutions. The City's web site ranked sixth in the nation in a study conducted by Brown University's Taubman Center for Public Policy to measure the extent to which local governments have services and information online.

A city representative for the Technology Department said online services are necessary for the city government's future. "Municipal leaders are charged with finding better ways to communicate with the public", the representative said. "While municipal budgets are shrinking, we must find more effective ways to promote efficiency through technology. E-services are one of those efforts, and so is the added security required to protect citizen privacy when they use those services".

These statements and initiatives make the City of Kansas City a very modern and high-technology oriented institution, a concept that would have to be clearly defined in the logo design by 1-800-MyLogo, Inc. The design process will have to capture concepts like “power, success, unity, team building, loyalty and confidence”, according to the representative of City of Kansas City. The power of technology and business transformation the City’s representatives envision will strategically be expressed in a high-tech, yet “caring” logo design.
