At first I was thinking…Easter?
And then I thought Boston Marathon.
And then I realized it was for the GSW.
Is it a little cheesy to do this so far ahead of time?
Yep, IMO.
Oakland doesn’t have much, you know.
They were going to get a pair of pandas from China, but that didn’t work out.
Oh well.
That’s Venus, the Evening Star, to the right of the dome, BTW.
And that’s a #5 Fulton hover bus heading inbound on McAllister…
Don’t you think?

Oh, and white clouds.
Is this your new, new logo, DPT MUNI?
As seen on the #5 Fulton:

Uh, did you really think this one through?
First City Hall was all like this.
Like a week ago:
But now it’s all like this:
See the diff?
Doesn’t it look something like the flags of Mexico, Italy and/or Ireland?
Speaking of Ireland, hated Republican billionaire Ron Conway can trace some of his roots back there, right? So maybe he called up weak-willed* Interim Mayor Ed Lee with some lighting ideas.
It’s not impossible.
Like remember when Republican billionaire Ron Conway got caught trying to improperly influence SFGov over the issue of street parking spaces near the offices of Pinterest? And then he lied about it?
And these days he “declines to state” whether he’s a Republican or not?
You know, if I were straight white male Republican billionaire who was willing to spend millions to buy political influence to make San Francisco more Republican I’d be all, “Gosh darn it, I’m a straight white male Republican billionaire who is willing to spend millions to buy political influence to make San Francisco more Republican!”
You know, direct, instead of, I don’t know, weaselly.
Oh, this just in, here’s a vote for Italy.
*“We talked in your office a couple of weeks before you entered the race and you confided in me that you didn’t want to run, but that Rose Pak and Willie Brown were putting a lot of pressure on you to run and you didn’t know if you had the strength to resist them.”
Here’s why – if you invert the colors of the old logo, it still looks like something:

Conversely, if you invert the colors of the new logo, it looks like garbage.
See?
Actually, the new logo looks like garbage anyway, inverted colors or no…
The colors of the Orange and Black are, officially, in PANTONE-speak:
PANTONE 19-1102 TCX – “Licorice” [Black]
PANTONE 17-1462 TCX – “Flame” [Orange]
PANTONE 11-0601 TCX – “Bright White”
PANTONE 17-1044 TCX – “Chipmunk”
PANTONE 13-0917 TCX – “Italian Straw”
PANTONE 11-0701 TCX – “Whisper White”
PANTONE 15-4003 TCX – “Storm Gray”
Did not know that…

Tink happy tots!
Via Todd Lappin of Telstar Logistics comes news of the source of the SFMTA’s new logo.
Better A or B?
Here’s the story:
“For 30 months now, I have been in love with our logo. It has the perfect blend of abstract design with a bold image. It even looks good on metal in our lobby.
Apparently, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) was holding a contest for designers to take a stab at their new logo. This is pretty major, as this represents the entire public transit system of San Francisco and would probably be plastered on anything with a surface. Recently, the winner of the prestigious contest was chosen: Paul Miller from the great design firm Method (we are big fans of theirs!).
While I have to admit I really like the winning mark, I think it’s because I am a bit biased:
I am a bit beside myself to be honest. I am highly doubtful of this being intentional, more likely a similar creative process (and taste!), but this is a pretty important flag to raise before this becomes the new look of San Francisco 
SFMTA or Paul: we’d love to chat. Call us! 312-361-3555″
