We Love Manchester!
Thursday, August 25th, 2011In the wake of the riots something much more important than a little social disorder emerged in this great city. An amazing community spirit seemed to develop like never before, Manchester City Council were quick to respond with their “I (heart) MCR” campaign, echoing the iconic New York slogan that was embraced by New Yorkers, tourists and fans the world over.
The campaign has taken off on a large scale and shops, bars, restaurants and cafes are adorned with the rapidly growing slogan. People are wearing the T-shirts, tables are covered in the drinks coasters and windows are full of the posters. Just like New York, Manchester is undergoing a branding revolution. The city is making a name for itself more than ever before and it’s residents are at the very forefront of this movement, happy to show that they really do ‘love Manchester’.
Although we don’t have a high street window to show it, the Pixel8 office has also become decorated with this great slogan, our very own Al Woods decided to take to the streets to capture his love for the city, take a look and see if you can recognise where he is:
