“Keeping Austin Weird” - a Proud Legacy  By : Tymon Hytem “Keep Austin Weird.” The unofficial slogan of the city has different interpretations to different residents, but most would agree that not being “normal” is one of the things we cherish about Austin. Ironically, what began with a grass roots movement to support the local businesses got trademarked by a marketing company to sell tee shirts and ball caps. In fact, they did such a good job of marketing and profiting from that slogan that other marketing companies in other cities picked it up and pretty soon, it became “Keep (fill in the blank) Weird.” But like cookie-cutter malls and chain restaurants that look exactly the same no matter what part of the country you happen to be in, we’ll let the big companies make a profit here just like anywhere else. To a lot of us, “Keep Austin Weird” isn’t about a tee shirt, it’s a reminder that we live in one of the most unique and original cities in the country, and we never want to lose that.
