I did a search for City Council Logos.
‘brushstroke central’, as that link from Sasha put it.

Not that I'd know, but I can't help thinking working up a winning public design into an actual specification might cost a bit.

Come to think of it, the kind of logo likely to result from this process will be just the thing for the kind of city likely to result from that process.

Concurs with post. It sounds like no part of the process is sensible.
There's a teeny bit more brief in the FAQ

In re: the report only the ACT MPs could get behind:
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA1002/S00226.htm
<blockquote>ACT Deputy Leader and Inter-Party Working Group (IPWG) chair Heather Roy today joined fellow IPWG ACT representative Sir Roger Douglas to release 'Free to Learn', the minority view on the 'Step Change' report launched at Parliament yesterday.</blockquote>
I would be looking on the ACT site for the actual document, but I can't get a connection. Perhaps it's crushed under the weight of idiocy after Rodney's climate antics.

One could tangentially argue that if they *don't* kill more guards the whole threat-of-punishment theory of prevention goes out the window.
Though they don't generally have a reason to kill guards either. Deliberately.
Corruption would be interesting to check.
I imagine all the datas would have a bunch of noise.

Plus, the average skull-cup only holds so much fluid.

PS if the submission process clears up some of the new idiocies Graeme mentions, I might start suspecting a(nother) pattern. Propose doing something nasty in a daft way; listen; do it in a sensible way; everyone's a bit relieved.
