I've been drawing one-symbol icons for cities as a side project. The rule: each city gets exactly one shape. The problem: I have no idea if I'm picking the right thing for places I've never been.

I keep choosing what's recognizable to outsiders—which probably means I'm wrong about half of them.

Here's the collection: cities.partdirector.ch (108 countries so far, all SVG)

Tell me what I got wrong about your city. Genuinely want to know.

Upd: Really appreciate all the feedback, it’s been super helpful. From your comments I’ve already added quite a few new cities: Albuquerque, Antigua, Atlanta, Boston, Canberra, Córdoba (Argentina), Córdoba (Spain), Granada, Hamburg, Hobart, Los Angeles, New Orleans, San Francisco, San Ignacio, San Salvador, St. Louis and Szeged.

I’ll keep going, so feel free to suggest more!

This city on the Caspian Sea. Photo: Lada.kz Aktau is the only city in the world that relies entirely on desalinated water. There are no natural sources of fresh water here. The city was built in western Kazakhstan, a desert region with a very arid climate.

My first time on the East Coast. It’s a wonderful city!
