Any other businessThe notice of business, 'The Party's Image', deferred from earlier in the meeting, was then considered.It was felt there should be much greater consistency in presenting the party's image particularly in the use of logos rather than the use of two or three different ones which had been the case during the recent electoral activities.Members were asked to bring ideas for a possible new party logo along to the next meeting. Among the suggested guidelines was the removal of the strap line and the latitudinal and longitudinal lines. Colours of the circumference and globe should probably be in keeping with the new Head Office fascia sign livery.Rob would approach Mandy to see if she might have any ideas. Dan said he would also produce some designs.Meeting adjourned at 5.32pmCollection taken: £24.00

I agree if it said "World Socialism" in the middle it would be better. And perhaps with the globe simplified so that it works in monochrome. Just think that the type face is better on the blue one, wouldn't be opposed to different colour versions either (though not black and red )
DJP wrote:This one is much better and is already in wide use:Bit of an exaggeration. Reckon it's used by you and probably one other member.
Vin Maratty wrote:It doesn't mention World SocialismIt doesn't mention the definite article either.All of the logos in current use (there must be easily four or five) have one thing in common; none of them have been approved by anyone except by those who have an individual preference for adopting one version or another. We need a single definitive logo which is consistent both with the traditions of the Party and in keeping with the new Head Office fascia sign.
