Are we serious? What wife/husband of a city official is Lattimer Moffitt, and probably got their marketing degree from The Sally Struthers Institute? And if they are legit, do they really think this is a “winner”?

What other cities are doing this besides Vegas? Maybe we should take the millions that were paid for this venture and by a big lake to spread some liquid over Atlanta.

Isn’t Southern Nights a porn shop on Cheshire Bridge?

I think that this new slogan shows the city’s commitment/obsession with the whole Midtown mile concept. It doesn’t do a very good job of going beyond Peachtree Street to describe the city’s “vibe” or anything that happens while the sun is out .

Pretty ironic to tout our “Southern nights” when the city has spent the last half decade passing regulations to curtail Atlanta nightlife. What exactly are tourists supposed to do here on Southern nights? Look at the pretty city lights, then go to bed?

New Brand Atlanta Executive Director Melinda Ennis-Roughton was quoted in the AJC as saying this about Atlanta– “It’s New York with Southern manners and charm”. WHAT???!!!! It is nothing close to New York- that’s just a lie and deception (great way to sell something Melinda.)

Tha AJC also metioned that Brand Atlanta was going to online advertising and will be putting ads on Wikipedia…. Does some one need to tell Melinda and the team that Wikipedia doesn’t have any ads? This is about as funny as Brand Atlanta debuting “The ATL” song during halftime on Monday Night Football, only to find out that the NFL doesn’t broadcast MNF halftime shows.

A lot of noise was made when Brand Atlanta spent so much of their budget advertising in Atlanta- their response– They needed to get the city behind the campaign. That’s just swell.

The new and improved logo has Whatizit and Spuds Mackenzie playing saxophones in front of the 1982 skyline.
