Some have criticised the proposed change and called for residents to speak out against the city government.<\/p>\n<p>The local city government has stated that it will be producing a new city logo that will not include Cologne Cathedral, well-known for its massive height of 515 feet and status as one of the largest Gothic-style churches in Europe.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>According to the government, the logo is changing because the 20-year old current logo is supposedly too complex, with a so-called brand analysis alleging that it is \u201cUnfashionable, old-fashioned, bulky, [and] emotionless,\u201d newspaper <em>K\u00f6lner\u00a0Stadt-Anzeiger<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksta.de\/nrw\/koeln-streitet-ueber-ein-neues-stadt-logo-ohne-dom-39582808?cb=1648734585924&#038;\">reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20473688\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/03\/Logo_Stadt_Koeln.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Logo of the city of Cologne featuring two spires representing the city\u2019s historic Roman Catholic cathedral.
