A couple of weeks ago, I was thinking about the stressful time and the difficulties of my first days in Szczecin. After almost two years in the city, I have developed a good Szcsecin knowledge. So why not create a blog about szczecin to share my daily livings?. So my first post will be about the brand new Szczecin 2050 Floating garden. In fact I think it is a great idea to switch from a post-Industrial city to a new green and blue one. Also the Logo is quite nice, even the idea of simplifying the spelling is really well thinked. When some of my friends, or family, came to visit me they always complain about the first szcz. It is common to hear a visitor say “Hey, How the hell I will tell my friends where I’ve been?, It is impossible to read this name”.
But, in my opinion, there is something missing. Somehow, the Logo should emphasise the cultural side of the city. The new Philharmonic is on the way, the theaters, the musicians, all the cultural richness spreading in Szczecin should be integrated in this new project.
Anyway, as a foreign person living in this wonderful city, I really see future in this project. Sometimes people form Szczecin underestimate their city, and this kind of ideas can make them proud of living in this great place.
