The introduction of a new logo for the municipality of Urk has sparked widespread criticism among residents, leading to a petition against the simplistic design featuring just a ‘U’. Many locals find the new logo reminiscent of brands like Unox and Unilever, while a few express their satisfaction with its simplicity. In response to the backlash, the municipality has disabled comment features on their social media channels. Despite the criticism, a local resident proposed using the original municipal coat of arms from 1819 instead.
