All, presumably, very expensive, and mostly pretty bad.
Chicago's is the only one I like -- it's the only one that really tries to sell me the city in question. Looking at it reminds me directly of the best bits of Chicago: it's got a big blue lake and some big shiny buildings, and when looked at from the correct angles it's really pretty. The other logos look pretty much interchangeable (except maybe Rio's, which not having been to Rio I don't understand).
