VISIT Milwaukee unveils new logo, branding ahead of big year for city
MILWAUKEE — On Tuesday, VISIT Milwaukee unveiled its new logo with hopes of a fresh re-brand before the city is in the national spotlight this summer for the Republican National Convention (RNC).
This is the first rebrand in nearly 20 years for the organization. It has been in the works for two years. The team at VISIT Milwaukee said they are proud of what they have come up with.
“What we came up with all bubbles up to the themes, fresh, flavor and forward.”
“Fresh, flavor and forward” are the words VISIT Milwaukee believes represent the City of Milwaukee after conducting research and design ventures over the past two years.
The new logo is a collection of items that represent the Cream City. It is made up of three “M” shapes. The top “M” stands for Milwaukee’s heartbeat, the middle one celebrates the water and the bottom “M” represents Milwaukee’s diversity.

Milwaukee residents Mushi Aviles and Elijah Miner saw the new design for the first time on Tuesday and said it’s a fun new change. The two seemed quite passionate about it already.
“That’s something different,” Aviles said. “That’s something different. it looks like a wave,” Miner said. “Right by the lake.”
“That’s cool,” Aviles continued “I probably might get that tattooed or something,”
VISIT Milwaukee said its hope is to appeal to people who live in the city and state. The team said they hope the logo is.a representation of what the City of Milwaukee is all about.
“Honestly, I think it represents the lake,” Ally Zblicki from Milwaukee said. “It looks cool. I just see waves it in.”

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
