New Welcome to Chesterfield Signs

[Fly]

Fair point, I'lll shut up now   

[Big Dave]

Cllr John Burrows, Leader of Chesterfield Borough Council said: “We want people to receive a consistent message about Chesterfield through the branding they see before they visit the town, when they arrive and while they are here."

Have a look at your own vans, Councillor!

The new logo probably looks great on the designer's monitor and I'm sure a marketer could explain why it is perfect, but, in the real world where folks just see the signs as they drive past THERE IS NO SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO CHESTERFIELD!

Just my two bobs worth.

Which reminds me...the other day on Jeremy Vine, a council that was spending money sponsoring their local football team, (I think it was Crewe but can't remember), advertising themselves, as if they need to, but had recently closed down a couple of old peoples homes......pass me the wall to bang my head against a bit more......(but at least the council leaders got free seats in the directors box.)

[Pete]

Sounds a bit dodgy to me...

I suppose you'd have to see the savings and expenditure involved. But I get your point - the old get the sh*t end of the stick again.

That took me by surprise, rather, in the current climate. They reckoned to have done it for the increase in public awareness that can be gained, for local services. Like the old folks' homes.  Er, hang on...

It was Tranmere - and the councillors get everything they deserve, if they have to go to watch them.

Enjoy.

Apparently, on another forum, regarding peoples attitudes of the new signs,
a member refers to the people of Chesterfield as, (Joe Bloggs. What do they know)  ???

I say apparently cos I can't see the reply staying long, you never know 

[Pete]

>> I can't see the reply staying long

I don't know about that - after all they need as many folks as they can to keep a thread going.

Before you know it, RoboCop, Terminator and Wall-E will be in town.
Corporation Chesterfield will be taking over 

And unemployment will still be low cos the Corporation bring their own workforce in 

[Slacker]

The Destination Chesterfield logo has been around a while now I remember it being discussed on the forum before the last election. I think the vans stand out a lot better than they used to.

Yep, they've got a spire on the doors :-)
And a funny squiggly thing down the back quarter.
