Don't live here but when I'm in Manchester look at this, all corporate branding is now shocking pink, bins, letters, signs! everything!

Here's the one for Warrington, we used to be part of Cheshire County Council, which had a very 1980's C logo, but now it's updated and doesn't look too bad...

I quite like it. Not to sure about the V instead of the U but it's nice anyway!
I've heard through the grapevine that the City of Edinurgh Council is currently about to undertake a rebranding exercise, so (from what I've heard from my contact at the City Chambers) that logo won't be around for terribly much longer. He never had a time frame for it, but apparently they are only doing it because the Scottish Executive is offering up grants for Councils to do so.

My home council is Highland:

As the area is so big (about the size of Belgium they say), they highlight local things like so, depending on which part of the area you live in:

Sorry about the poor quality of the second logo. I quite liked the logo when they introduced it in 1994, but now it looks a bit boring frankly.
One I really dislike is Aberdeenshire (tries too hard):

and Moray's can only be described as twee:

Just another 26 Scottish Councils left to analyse. Think I'll leave that up to you.

PS - I do remember (not sure if it's still done) that Midlothian Council used to completely plaster the sides of their vans and lorries in a PC-style "start menu" which had the department/service the said vehicle belonged to highlighted (like when you have your mouse over a program you're just about to launch). Things like Council> Environment & Community> Waste> Collection. with the other services on the 'menu' but greyed out. Quite clever, but looked a bit odd.

Bradford's an interesting one near me, the old logo:

The new one:

The design brief seems to have been to make a good website header that can double up as the council logo, and not the other way round!

I think

is just the website header, not the logo, and
Image
is still the logo, hence why both appear on thier websites main page.
