We finally launched the biggest event of the summer - Best in the City.

The campaign is about getting user to vote on the best of toronto including restaurants, bars & clubs, attractions, hotels, shopping and odds & ends.

I work closely with Bessy, our marketing manager, to come out all the creative for this campaign.

Logo Development

I started with 3 different logo ideas

Somehow everyone loves the badge, however, they want to see other option for the badge logo. Tweaking the badge so that it will look more modern. They want to see the logo as trophy as well. So I mocked two logo up, and showing the color options when the logo represents different categories.

Soon after this mock was sent out, they feel like the badge would be the best for this campaign. Now they want to see the options of folded badge, or non folded badge, and also the rounded edge or corner edge…

Final Logo - after doing a survey, everyone prefer the one with no flap and keep it simple as badge

I was quite happy to see the result, we used the logo on the website, on newspaper ads, on t-shirts, bookmarks and all the online media.

Ad on toronto star newspaper…

The whole project was quite smooth, and everyone worked together to make it happen.

Now we’ll just have to see how the results come in after couple weeks…

Vote on!! go to http://www.toronto.com/best

Ever since I joined toronto.com, I had been working on tons of print media. OurFave.com is a sister site of toronto.com, it’s a user generated review site for things/places for Toronto. This weekend is toronto’s Taste of Little Italy. The stretch goes from College St. & Bathurst St. to College St. & Shaw St. All the vendors on the street will set up stands for everyone to taste their food, or try their product.

This is actually a short turn around. I had to trace the google map with illustrator and then working with the OurFaves content coordinator to put everything together.

And then it went through couple revisions, and finally this morning it got sent to the printer! woot! Click on the thumbnail below to see the final version

When was the last time you see large families of Canadian Geese in City of Toronto?? I was quite surprised to see them while walking down the street to a store.
