Redesigning City Symbols: Lessons from Milwaukee

Ann Rittals letter to the editor expresses concerns about the proposed municipal seal redesign, urging a pause to consider expert advice. She references Roman Mars TED Talk on city flags, suggesting its relevance to the project. Rittal acknowledges the positive intention of incorporating Denaina culture but worries that the current approach might not yield a truly impactful outcome. She believes the artistic director, Mr. Garber, has the skills to create a more innovative and meaningful symbol. Rittal points to Milwaukees successful city flag redesign as an example, calling for a deeper look into design best practices to avoid another overworked design and create a genuine community symbol.
