KC - The GREATEST
This design illustrates the idea of “the GREATER Kansas City Area” evolving into the notion that “We are the GREATEST City!
This is a big juicy red “I heart KC”; our love of this place brings us together over the Missouri/Kansas state line which does not divide us, it unites us! The dotted line represents the state line and a background line drawing represents the streets that connect people throughout Kansas City. At the heart of the design is a drop shadow arrow holding the word “Greatest” with the arrow pointing in a forward moving direction. The back design shows the epicenter of the map being Kansas City with a pin expressing that we are “happy you are here.”
Inspirations:
Front design: 1919 map of greater KC with the arrow in a red heart saying “Greater”.
Back design: “You are here” map tags and the thumb tack on Google maps which represent your location on the map.

Artist Spotlight
Denise DiPiazzo, Redtrike Studios
I have lived and worked as an artist, architect, and educator in the Kansas City area for over 30 years and continuously look for ways to interact with my community to celebrate the strength of our amazing city through art.
I think of my art as a form of visual storytelling that creates a series of viewports that look backward and forward through time while exploring the notions of place and origin.
