“$1.1 Million for That? Austin’s Logo Fail


Listen Later

“Why spend $1.1 million on a logo that looks like a grocery store rebrand?”

In this fiery and hilarious episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew dives deep into the controversy surrounding Austin’s new city logo — a design that’s sparked outrage, confusion, and some truly savage online commentary. Sandy, JB, and Tricia break down the public’s reaction, the questionable budget decisions, and how the city’s creative spirit was completely ignored in the process. 💥 Key Highlights:
  • JB reveals AI-generated logos he created in just 30 minutes — and yes, anything would have been better than what the City of Austin did.
  • JB and Sandy discuss the missed opportunity to crowdsource the design from Austin’s vibrant creative community.
  • A listener’s homemade logo featuring the Capitol dome and 360 bridge steals the spotlight.
  • The team exposes the breakdown of the $1.1 million rebrand budget — and it’s as ridiculous as you’d expect.
🎧 Bonus Segment: The crew shifts gears to talk about the $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot, including a winning ticket bought just down the road in Fredericksburg. Plus, JB shares a wild Costco story and the team reacts to a viral video of a woman snatching a baseball from a kid — and the internet justice that followed.

🔥 Memorable Quote:
“Dude, I could take my blue Bic pen and my composition notebook from HEB and in 30 seconds have something better.”

 📢 Call to Action: If you love Austin, hate wasteful spending, or just enjoy a good laugh — this episode is for you.
