The slogan "People Make Glasgow" has been unveiled as the new brand name for Scotland's largest city.

It was chosen following a consultation which saw ideas submitted from more than 1,500 people from 42 countries.

Glasgow City Marketing Bureau said the process saw "words such as real, smart, home, creative, bright and better came through, time and time again".

The brand will be used to market the city at home and abroad and replaces: "Glasgow: Scotland with style."

The slogan combines with key ideas to form different messages, such as People Make Glasgow Home and People Make Glasgow Creative.

Glasgow City Council has committed £500,000 this year to develop and promote the brand across the UK and internationally.

'Sense of pride'

Council leader Gordon Matheson said said the new slogan "reflects the Glaswegian character."

"It's bold, friendly, confident, and it evokes a real sense of pride," he added.

"The people of Glasgow are at the heart of this brand - we have created something which presents a truly distinctive identity for the city and on behalf of Glasgow I would like to warmly thank all those who gave their ideas so generously."

The four-week consultation, which was run by the council's city marketing bureau, also attracted 7,000 website hits and involved more than 400,000 Facebook and Twitter users worldwide.

Once submissions had been analysed, a creative team from the marketing bureau came up with the new slogan, which was approved by board members.

Councillor Matheson added: "Over the past five weeks we have reviewed all of the contributions from Glaswegians and from across the globe.

"We also interviewed more than 40 of Glasgow's leaders from the private, public and academic sectors and, overwhelmingly, they told us that what makes Glasgow great is its people."

Professor Sir Jim McDonald, principal of Strathclyde University, said: "This launch is another milestone in Glasgow's renaissance and it celebrates what makes us a great city.

"It is absolutely fitting that the city is putting its citizens front and centre with the new brand."

Glasgow Chamber of Commerce chief executive Stuart Patrick said: "On behalf of the business community, we warmly welcome the new brand.

"Now our job is to go out and use the brand's core message to sell Glasgow to the world."

"Minkers Make Glasgow"

[The Boofon]

So who are the people?

 

There will be tattie munching conspiracy theories about this make no mistake.

[zander]

Terrible slogan its as though the people who run Glasgow are proud of the sub humans who inhabit it.

[BrianFaePerth]

People make Glasgow the shithole it is.

On a Monday morning especially, the non-pedestrianised stretch of Sauchiehall Street between Charing X & North Campbell Street resembles a scene out of 28 Days Later. There is shit and puke and kebabs and other weekend detritis everywhere. That being said, it always has a buzz about it. But Glasgow's about much more than Sauchiehall Street. In general terms, on a one-on-one basis, the people there are more warm and friendly than the average north-easterner, and far less conceited too. I put the conceited thing down to education. Uneducated people don't get a job in Glasgow, they end up being bums that you steer clear of. Uneducated people in Aberdeen get a job in Weatherford or wherever starting off at £30k a year and don't need to grow up.

 

Where as we hear the same lines trotted out about the Govan shipyards making men its just a pitty industry left Glasgow and the weegies were too thick to do anything about it.

Weegies make Weegieland in otherwords.
