    It feels contemporary (in the worst way), so many brands have gone with the sans serif and at this point it just looks bland and uninspired (thankfully Burberry decided to reverse course). The addition of the emojis makes it feel “of it’s time” like it will look dated in a few years, making me think this redesign won’t stick for long. I think it’s biggest transgression is (as you said) it lacks perspective, like it was created to be trendy and corporate rather than personal. I’d love to see your take on it TBH.

    I agree with you, every wordmark looks almost the same these days. I think you're right that emojis will have been an era, or at the very least this current stylization with graidents will be associated with the 20's. To be honest if anyone approached me for this project I would have said no, and tried to convince them to do something else haha!

    actually the original message was meant for New York State... and taken for New York City. @ezxcve But beyond that, I think the message of generally loving all the things about the city, and the people, and the spirit of this great city is right for now. That's what I mean by "right message
