"It's not entirely clear how Richmond became "The City of Pride and Purpose." Vice Mayor John Marquez said a committee appointed by the mayor developed the motto in the late 1980s. Councilman Tom Butt said he has heard other accounts. The genesis of the city logo, which is a bird or an arrow depending on whom you ask, also is unclear." (

There's been talks about changing the motto to something more newer. One idea would be"We Can Do It, Again. Si Se Puede, Otra Vez."
