In 2007 Worldstudio designed a logo for the new Times Square Alliance’s event taking place a few days before the start of the new year.

As quoted on CNN.com Lori Raimondo, Vice President of Marketing for the Times Square Alliance, hopes that Good Riddance Day will one day become a national holiday.
