If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; V.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything inbetween.

http://www.vancouveriawesome.com jefchoy

3!
missfox

1 and 3 are the way to go. I like the colours in 3 and the overall feel of it, but 1 is clever and gets props for the seahorse sign. Less well known but just as cool as the Smiling Buddha.
tf

definitely #1 paying props to the downtown eastside, or #3 just for the vintage aspect
aimee

Number one is the best, hands down, and then I like eight …apparently I’m the only one who does.
billzab

Aquaball

Gotta go with 9 on this. Others don’t come close.
andy

number 9!!
Mary

number one: iconic, relevant, clever, kitschy, eye-catching. Everything a button wants to be!
april

blueth

Dee

#3 is the one I would be psyched to wear. Who are the designers? Throw up some credits guys…
Andrew P

#3 is the tops.
http://justinlongoz.blogspot.com justin

it has to be #9. it’s simple. it’s awesome. it says vancouver without saying VANCOUVER. the other ones, while also nice, just don’t do it the way number 9 does it for me. i was going to go with 5, but it’s a little too abstract. there’s nothing wrong with abstract, but on a 1 inch button? it’s not exactly a great plug for the website.
