New Tory logo

Is there any truth that this was the winner in a under 10 competition to design a new logo for the party?

Its hard to believe designers were paid £40,000 to come up with that monstrosity!

How much!

That looks rubbish anyway. "Look at us, were environmentally friendly, because we have a tree in out logo!"

Edit; Well the squiggle looks like a tree to me anyway.

Rubbish, what was wrong with the torch they used to have, I thought it was good. Maggie has readied her handkerchief.....

Is this a joke or misintpreted article? Nothing on BBC about this, and nothing on the Conservative homepage

Le_Petit_Lapin · 15 Sep 2006 at 12:15

Lol....the Tories going to start running round like hippies now?

The green party are going to be ****** off they didn't think of that one!

Hehe nice, the Conservatives who apparently are supposed to be in favour of small government, minimal interference, free market etc.....how do they reconcile that with the supervision and legislation which will be required in order to enforce their new 'green' policies. I await the answer with interest

No, sadly it isn't a joke, the party are a big enough joke on their own, they don't need a logo to help them out.

Apparently the grass roots are none too happy with the money wasted on this. They ran a competition within the party membership and they came up with a very similar logo yet Camaroon decided that money needed to be spent.

The idea of an oak tree is a very good one, British, strong, dare I say it 'green'; it is just in this particular case it has been very badly executed.

"Vote for us - we're dead, like, green. And stuff. We may even come up with some policies at some point."

Look at the two logos on the BBC page, the torch still wins hands down. It almost has a 'commie' triumphant worker feel about it. :eek:

Where's 'Have I Got News For You' when you need it?

leaskovski · 15 Sep 2006 at 12:37

Its a logo, who cares? They paid for it out of party funding (probably a bit of tax payer money in there as well).

It isn't gonna make a blind bit of difference as to if they get in power at the next labour crucifixion.

MasterMike · 15 Sep 2006 at 12:38

Does look like the logo to a children's charity, but I don't care, I wouldn't vote for them if their logo was in bold, fire-blazened capitals with Jessica Alba and Rachael Stevens having sex in the background.*

*an idea Tories, if you're reading

Spacky · 15 Sep 2006 at 12:41

If thats the one they chose I'd like to see the ones that failed.

Heres the runner up entry

LoadsaMoney · 15 Sep 2006 at 12:43

Oh its real, i remember seeing it on BBC TEXT last night, the headline said something about the new Tory "squiggle", but i never read about it.
