U-Design: A Slogan For A Creve Coeur T-Shirt

Creve Coeur residents and community leaders gathered at a weekend seminar on building engagement in the city. One of the drills was to design a city-themed T-shirt.

Did you know the City of Creve Coeur has a slogan? If you guessed, "The Heart of Community and Commerce," you'd be right. Slogans can be a catchy marketing tools, a la "What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas," and they can also be significant points of community pride and identity.

During a weekend seminar held at the Creve Coeur Government Center, Peter Kageyama, author of the book, For The Love of Cities, asked participants to design their own slogan that would fit on a T-shirt.

Themes focused on the city's home to restaurants and banks, the famed "broken heart" legend, and even the many ways people have tried and failed to spell the city's name. 

One suggestion found a way to incorporate some Irish fun into the broken heart history. See if you can figure out which one.

Check out this mashup of some of the ideas and tell us what you think.
