A new logo to be used to market Cardiff on the international stage is aimed at ditching the "stereotype" of daffodils and dragons associated with the area.

Promoters say the brand, made-up of multi-coloured discs encircling the city's name, will mark Cardiff out as a "progressive" place to live and visit.

The £45,000 design was unveiled in front of politicians and business leaders at the Wales Millennium Centre.

Cardiff & Co said it was a brand people in the city would be proud of.

It's bloody hideous.

It looks like something a cellphone company would use.

There was absolutely nothing whatsoever wrong with the dragon logo.

I fail to see what the hell the  problem was with using a recognisable national symbol for the capitol city of Wales.

I'm with Taf on this one.
