Showcase of World Cities Honoured in Typography
I love travelling and visiting the wonderful cities of the world and I’m also very proud of where I live. While I was looking for some inspiration and browsing for the branding of cities I came across this great site. The site in question is CitID. The aim of the CitID project is as they put it – “to gain global consciousness by giving a (type)face to every city worldwide”.
It’s also a great way for cities of all sizes big and small, wealthy or poor to get recognition. Why not be part of it and participate yourself and give your city or favourite city the recognition it truly deserves.
Here is 20 nice examples that I wanted to show to you. Make sure you go over to CitID and check out the rest.
