1. NYC: Need to unify

ONE FOR MANY and over 8.2 million people. Each individual has their own New York.
Within the mind of every single New Yorker resides a different version
of New York City. It’s a city loved in 138 different languages and viewed
Everyone living side by side. This kaleidoscopic quality is one of the
greatest things about this city. It’s the very thing we love. But it also
brand that means New York City to everyone.
Window on a city Wolff Olins made sturdy letterforms that are thick, rugged – a little on
the tough side – just like a New Yorker. The mark is durable and will
represent New York for a long time. And the mark functions as a
typical masonry facade – perhaps a fashion designer, a recording
engineer or someone crusading for social justice. Like a window this
symbol can reveal images of every culture, profession and activity of
this city. The NYC brand is a transparent pane of glass that offers a
view of real New Yorkers and real NYC neighborhoods. It’s a venue for
the very ideas that make NYC strong – 8 million brands.
Record tourism The NYC brand has become a singular and strong voice for the city.
It’s now used across a range of city-wide initiatives, like greenNYC,
BeFitNYC and milliontreesNYC. The brand has driven tourism
marketing, and comes alive in the city’s new visitor center, NYCGO.
In 2007, the year following the launch, there was a 13% increase in
Wolff Olins visitor numbers resulting in 370,000 more jobs for the city. 2008
became a record year with 47 million people visiting the city,
