New Logo
At Stonewall 50, Gay City News Embraces New Look
BY PAUL SCHINDLER
You may have noticed in this Pride
Season that Gay City News has taken on
a new look that combines both our full
name and our initials presented in lower
case as gcn.
Th e new logo retains the brand identity
the newspaper has built over 18 years, but
also allows for quick identifi cation that
ties our website, gaycitynews.com, to our
presence on social media platforms.
“As New York celebrates the 50th anniversary
of Stonewall and WorldPride, Gay
City News honors the traditions that have
built a vibrant LGBTQ community but
also looks forward to the progress and
challenges ahead,” said Josh Schneps, the
CEO of Schneps Media, the newspaper’s
parent company. “Th e fresh, modern style
of Gay City News’ new logo represents
our commitment to the strongest possible
presence on all the media platforms —
print, online, and social — relevant to our
readers here in the city and worldwide.”
Th e logo design was the work of
Michael Shirey, who for fi ve years served
as creative director of Gay City News.
Th ough Shirey has moved on to other
professional pursuits, his appreciation for
the newspaper’s mission made him the
perfect candidate to oversee our rebranding.
