Great City Logo Designs from Across Canada for Twestival
March 12th, 2011 Comment
This weekend we take a look at some of the logos our cities have designed for Twestival Local 2011 in Canada. Many of these inspirational designs are highly representative of their cities, some give us a peek into local culture while others showcase architectural wonders. For example, Quebec City included the famous Chateau Frontenac while Toronto has the CN Tower and Whistler has cable cars hanging on top of ski slopes with Twestival birds.
A lot of hardwork has gone into making these logos and to celebrate their achievements we have put them all together into a slideshow. Great job, cities!
Check them out and let us know what you think. Tweet us @TwestivalCanada. You can also support our cities by "Liking" them on our Facebook page. From now until March 17th, teams around the world have the opportunity to win extra funds for their local cause by accumulating the most Facebook "Likes." Click here and show your support.
