THE STAR
KUALA LUMPUR: Netizens' negative comments on Kuala Lumpur's new logo and tagline had this response from Mayor Datuk Seri Mhd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz : “It can still be fine-tuned."
The logo features “KUALA LUMPUR” in greyish lettering with a drop shadow.
The tagline has the words “exciting, surprising, enticing” and “A City of Contrasts and Diversity”.
Mhd Amin said the logo idea was not one person's. The matter was discussed by members of the Kuala Lumpur Tourism Bureau who are stakeholders in the tourism industry.
"It is a start. We still have plans on the promotion of the logo. It will take time to make adjustments.
"We are open to improvement, the colour can be changed, anyone who has ideas to improve the logo please do pass the proposal to me so I can table it to the bureau," he told reporters after attending the Corporate Integrity Signing and Pledge Ceremony with Kuala Lumpur City Hall Contractors here Thursday.
The new logo and tagline to promote tourism in Kuala Lumpur drew criticism, with netizens poking fun at the design and the words used to describe the capital city. - Bernama
