Outrage After Austin Spends 2 Years and $1.1 Million to Rebrand City with New Woke Logo That Removes Christian References
People were outraged after the city of Austin, Texas, spent two years and $1.1 million to rebrand with a new logo.
Austin removed the Christian Cross and replaced it with what appears to be an AI-generated “A” – and it cost over $1 million.
Per KXAN:
The whole total project cost is an estimated $1,117,558 and is a part of the Austin Strategic 2023 Plan approved back in 2018. Here’s the breakdown of how that money is being spent:
- Brand Vendors: $640,000
- Public Awareness Campaign: $115,000
- Consolidated city-wide design software for all departments: $75,582
- Support staff and legal counsel – salary and benefits for a Brand Project Manager (temporary City employee) and external legal review: $186,976
On Thursday, Austin City Manager T.C. Broadnax boasted about the new woke logo.
“For the first time in Austin’s history, we will have a logo to represent the city services and unify us as one organization, one Austin,” Broadnax said.
Broadnax said there was a “real business need for a unified rebrand.”
“We want our community members to be able to identify members of our team as city of Austin employees and trust the services we provide whether they see the brand on a website, a utility bill, a street sign or the side of a vehicle, they’ll know exactly who it’s from and what it stands for,” Broadnax added.
He continued, “Austinites told us that they value and appreciate their interaction with city staff, but they also want a modern government that reflects the community’s values and is consistent, connected and responsive across departments and services, and that’s what this brand does.”
