IceCap Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 So the Grits have revamped their party logo, presumably to distance Michael Ignatieff's leadership era from the disastrous tenure of Stephan Dion. Old....New....The logos of the Conservatives, New Democrats, and Greens for comparison....

Steve-O Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Is it just me or does the new Liberal logo purposely use the stem of the leaf to act as an accent on the top of the "e"? Appealing to Quebec perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appealing to Quebec perhaps?I'm sure it's intentional, but I don't think it's pandering to Quebeckers. It's more likely just so they can have one consistent logo right across Canada, rather than having to create a separate one with an accent to use in Quebec.

Saintsfan Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Its very interesting to see a political party almost regressing to something more old fashioned looking, particularly with such a traditional looking font. I quite like it though. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 You forgot the Bloc's logoLike Saintsfan said, it's interesting to see them go back towards a more traditional looking logo. It's more professional looking for sure, and I too like the stem accenting the e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Its very interesting to see a political party almost regressing to something more old fashioned looking, particularly with such a traditional looking font. I quite like it though.My thoughts are that they're "going retro" (the simple font, faded red, "old-style" maple leaf) to remind people that they're, or at least used to be, regarded as the "natural" governing party of Canada. There's a pretty strong consensus among the Liberal ranks that Harper's Conservative win in 2006 was the result of the sponsorship scandal, and that his increased minority win in 2008 was the result of poor leadership/character assassination from/of Stephan Dion. It's almost taken for granted among Grits these days that Iggy's a return to normalcy (to borrow a phrase from Warren Harding) and that once Canadians have their senses returned they'll vote for the Big Red Machine once again. And I think the new logo represents that, a return to normalcy. Of course I'm a Liberal supporter who Iggy's driving away, but whatever. The branding strategy's still a good one.

NickNickNick Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I like the arrows, just in case we didn't know which direction the party goes The funny part about this party is that they currently have about $3 Million in a bank account, earning nearly $100,000 in interest annually. The account is tied up due to the PC scandal that occurred in the 1980s...the Sask Party would likely have a claim to it, except they don't want to touch the money (and frankly don't need it). The Sask Party was formed by all the leftover PCs who weren't jailed or connected to the scandal, and disgruntled Liberals. The PC party was de-registered, and noted as inactive for quite a time, but is now active again, and they've been in court for 3 years now trying to unlock the money. The courts won't hand it over, claiming the money belongs to those who raised it (old PCers now in the SaskParty), and the current PC Party is not the same as the old one. Meanwhile, the SaskParty won't pursue it because of all the negative feelings the public still have with 1980s Devine gov't.One can be assurred that if the PC Party got the money back, their logo would receive a huge update.

Ben Schwartz Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I looked at both the new and old Liberal logos without reading the post and just assumed the top one was the new one. I like that one a lot, not a fan of the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Ok....4 stars are British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba I presume. The other two are Yukon and Northwest Territories?

IceCap Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 I think that it's just suppose to be the Big Dipper. Though really the movement's about as relevant as, say, the League of the South in the former CSA.

vman Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 At the rate Iggy's dropping in the polls, they Libs are going to have to change their logo every year. Frankly, the new logo suits them: Dry, boring, uninspired and in the red . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
