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!

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.
Here is Plovdiv, Bulgaria - P/love/div. There is a global social campaign pLOVEdiv as Plovdiv city has been selected for an European Capital of Culture for 2019 - www.plovediv.bg. Image: http://zdravkoyonchev.com/ Plovdiv-57...2a-png.jpg
