City of Contrasts (Odessa slogan)

The city of Odessa in west Texas has used the “City of Contrasts” slogan since at least 1981, when a trademark was registered. In 1999, Odessa advertised: “It’s a city where cowboys and culture, oil and ostriches, sports and jazz live together in harmony.”
   
Many other cities have also been called a “City of Contrasts,” including the city of Odessa in the Ukraine.
