  • Share I am curious why the city replaced the wooden welcome sign on the south part of town . The sign said “Lincoln City welcomes you, a great place to try new things” The new octopus tentacle sign used instead of the wooden sign just looks cheap and plastic . I’ve heard rumors that the wooden sign could not be restored but that does not ring true to me in a city with so many artisans . I also do not remember the city asking for any community input on that sign change or the HUGE light polluting casino sign on the north end of town . Is that in the city’s best interest to have that electronic Chinook Casino , Vegas looking sign ? Am I missing communication ? I think having an engage platform for the community to ask questions and get involved is a great idea .i understand the concept of the octopus tentacles being a strategic way for tourists to find parking and bathrooms etc but that could have been ccomplished without using such plastic looking signs on Facebook Share I am curious why the city replaced the wooden welcome sign on the south part of town .

    Thank you for reaching out to Ask Lincoln City. We are glad to see that you are utilizing our new Engage Lincoln City platform.

    You are correct, the Welcome to Lincoln City wooden sign had deteriorated and was beyond repair. It also had our old seagull logo on it. Back in 2018, when we introduced the city’s new octopus’ logo, branding guidelines were created on how to best deliver a consistent visual message to the public. This included upgrading our signage. Our current welcome signs were created using our adopted branding guidelines. The signs were custom built with materials that will withstand the coastal elements. We are in the process of updating other city signage around town to align with the octopus branding.

    The large, electronic Chinook Winds Casino sign, at the north end of town, is on Tribal property, which is a sovereign nation. The City has no jurisdiction over tribal property.
