RE-BRANDING NEW YORK


While we were putting together the May/June issue of Manhattan toward the end of this past miserable winter, the news about the city was getting pretty grim, what with all that Madoff scheming and Wall Street wishy-washiness. So we had an idea: We’d ask several up-and-coming graphic designers with NYC addresses to re-imagine Milton Glaser’s iconic logo. And they obliged. Oh sure, now the weather’s nicer and Wall Street has had a few triple-digit rallies recently—the Dow rose almost 250 points today, in our first full day as neighbors to the NYSE!—so everyone’s all chipper and upbeat again. But humor us if you will, or at least send the link to your graphic design nerd friends.
