The folks at Cit/ID have an ambitious task at hand: to collect a logo for every city in the world. The goal is to create visual representations for every city on earth in a way that is both accurate to the culture and beautiful to the rest of the world. Aside each other, the vast array of logos already collected are truly inspiring. Check out the site, and maybe next time you hear something about an obscure city like Budapest you’ll have a little artistic context to place it in.

They’re currently accepting submissions for the hundreds of cities yet to be represented (they’ve already got a few from every continent). So far, the US has the most cities covered, but Europe is dominating the continent race. Perhaps the most amazing part of this project is the artistic talent that comes alongside the abundance of work. So give it a solid effort and submit soon… the best entries will eventually be compiled in book form.

A few cities have multiple entries (Portland has a few), and some cities with either ugly or seriously flawed logos might need your help. Street Attack’s home-bases Boston and New York are possibly the ugliest logos of the bunch, but with the great design talent in these cities, we’re sure Boston and New York can step up their game.

Here’s our favorites:

Portland, Oregon, United States:

Osaka, Japan:

Acapulco, Mexico:

Bristol, United Kingdom:
