Bah. The RSS feed for White Whine doesn’t have a properly formatted title tag.

Oh, wait.

Crap.

Earlier this month, the Star had a great feature about Toronto’s fire-hall crests and how they reflect the character of the city’s neighbourhoods. I love flags, heraldry, sports logo — any simple, graphic identity — so the full page gallery of crests was a treat for me.

I had intended this post to link to some of the crests, praising some and comparing others unfavourably to minor league hockey logos. There doesn’t seem to be an online version of the Star’s gallery of crests, but I had found most of them on the city’s fire service website, back on Jan. 3 when the article was published.

They’re all gone now.

Does Toronto’s blanket signage policy, which apparently forbids the fire stations from displaying the crests on the halls, also extend to the website?
