OUR ORIGINAL TOTD POSTING:

After committing about $750,000 to roll out and promote a new brand for the St. Louis area, here’s what we’ve got:

St. Lou..IS all within reach.

According to the first story we posted on the subject:

“The St. Louis brand was announced at the annual meeting of the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission. The organization’s president, Kitty Ratcliffe, said the brand is meant to capture the essence of the city and region. Brands are associations people have with a name, and the brand image will be used to set St. Louis apart from other groups and communities in promotional campaigns.”

This slogan, again, from the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission, is distinct from the one dreamed up by the St. Louis Regional Chamber & Growth Association (see left).

What do you think of the new slogan (above)? The second one is supposedly aimed more at the business community, the first to tourists. Will this sell St. Louis? Could you think of a better one?
