What do you think of Porirua City Council's smiley face avatar?
The smiley face cost $875 plus GST and was part of a rebranding exercise for the council which cost $98,000.
Included in that cost was $30,000 for "strategy and brand development, and brand guidelines" and $24,9991 for a new photo library "based on the new brand look and feel",
What do you think of the work? Did Porirua need rebranding?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
