I was trying to create a representative banner for a travel agency, and while doing some research I started asking myself how can I creatively represent a city's name with an image.
I started with Bucharest. What best represents the city I live in? How can it be drawn? See results bellow!

This is not a good representation of what Buddha looked liked as he was extremely thin. For a lot of his life he ate almost nothing as he wanted to push himself to the limits.

BUcharest, not Bucarest :) by de fact, in Romanian it's spelled Bucuresti ;)

That is not actually Buddha, that us Budai, so you actually spelled Budaipest. Just do a bit of research before you invest your time in doing something that admitedly looks beautiful :)

What do you think ?

The idea itself is good, but I was annoyed by the inconsistency -- sometimes the icon is taken from spelling (e.g. Seatle) while others from pronunciation (e.g. Bu-cha-rest with a car). Chinese and Japanese place name would look interesting if they can put an icon showing the meaning, say Shang-hai with sea icon.

Interesting concept. But I think that the visual can be execute better. For an example, some text are hard to read on top of images.

It would be better if you didn't put there the city's real name. It could be a kind of quiz.

I think they chose pretty good the sign for Berlin, since the bear is also the symbol of the city :P
