Logos are certainly important, as they convey an organization’s mission and priority. Since DPW is prioritizing rebranding and not improving the performance of basic functions, I am disappointed that my proposed logo wasn’t selected. My proposed logo accurately reflects the culture and performance of the “NEW DPW,” and like any good logo, it’s simple and to the point. DPW is half of the agency it used to be and has only been consistent at performing half of its job, so my logo reflects that.</span></span></p>
