Take a bite out of crime
Both Gapers Block and Chicagoist are linking to the online voting for the design of the next City of Chicago vehicle sticker. Every resident of the city who owns a vehicle has to buy one of the these things - though many don't - so one can only hope the design isn't hideous. I voted for design #3, but I loved design #6, pictured above. The big brown dog in the middle bears a striking resemblance to my dear friend McGruff the Crime Dog. In fact, a really clever design could have incorporated all kinds of famous dogs, perhaps in a fake Sergeant Pepper style design. [Click on that link even if you know what the album cover looks like, because that's an entire website dedicated to the Paul McCartney is dead conspiracy!]
Most of the city sticker designs are worthy. They were designed by high school students, so they did a good job. I'm not really sure what the point of online voting is, though, because you and I both know that the kid who is going to win is the one that is the Machine candidate.
entry no. 1247
