Manchester icons

[Blue Smarties]

Come on BM, help me out. About to do an illustration for my uni portfolio and I need some things which when you see you think of Manchester. Preferably modern although I'm thinking of including colours schemes from the Hacienda etc so tbh, post whatever. If you can supply an image so I know what I'm looking for when I search the web then great, if not then a name will suffice.

As an example if I was doing Newcastle I'd include the angel of the north.

Obviously going to include the Beetham Tower however that's as far as I've got as I've not sat down and thought as I'm still working on the type.

Fire away and thanks in advance.

Cheers everyone, especially Pige. Would never have thought of using the letter box, what a fantastic idea.




Now people, if you could include one City player to symbolise us who would it be? Keep in mind it looks like most of the things I'll be including will be from the 'later' years, around the 90s-2000s so I'm thinking Dickov on his knees?

Edit: The bee, fab.

Not applied for man met, just something I'd be able to talk easily about and tbh, I'm a bit bored and do stuff like this hah.

Erm, there's a clue written on it.

The Angel of the North is in Gateshead. Like Keegan, it always turns its back on Newcastle.
