That's why you're not allowed anything sharp.... like a pencil. And why the logo was done by a toddler with a crayon.

Surely it's spreading the green message by building on the Party's confident, strong blue roots?

Full reaction? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ad inf

[LazyGun]

Yuk

�40,000?

Well I can see our Tax money would be in safe hands here!

( yeah I know it's a cheap shot - let me have a bit of fun! )

[admarlow]

thats really bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so they are turning into tree huggers as well!

[jump79]

Lol.

[Loosehead]

The thing is I think Cameron believes that you have to turn into lefty tree hugging Liberal to get votes. What we need is good old fashioned Right wing arse kicking Tory. Maggie we need you........... Enjoy yourself jakem I promise I won't mention Derry Irvine's wall paper, doh........

[BigMac]

It's more grist to the mill of Radio 4s "The Now Show", where David "Hug a Hoodie" Cameron has been likened to a Teletubbie ...

[jake-the-peg]

Yes he could have had one and a half Tory logos instead of all that wallpaper!

[keyvan]

Don't get this. Is that meant to say that being a tory is cool? If so it hasn't done it for me.

Or maybe labour this time has gone far too right that conservatives are having a role reversal and appealing to the centre ground and lefties ignored by labour.

This time they have completely lost it.

[mash]

I don't really care what symbols the different parties use. I think they all kid themselves that they mean something and are important. I remember a party for their policies not symbol. As for the party demonstrating its green polices.......give me strength what planet is Cameron on?
Well done to person that sold it them, good move mate, wish I could make �40K as easy!

[suffragette]

If they put that up on a wall, David Cameron might get an ASBO!

[mimififi]

I'm a big old enviromentalist, but frankly, this symbol doesn't scream 'eco-warrier' to me.

I am a tory too, and I know that we are supposed to be blue and all, but I am struggling to understand why the leaves are green and the trunk is blue, shouldn't it be brown....?

No, I think a toddler could have come up with not only a better image of a tree, but also a better symbol altogether....

Come on guys, pull your act together, we need to help the country stop doing junk! Stop worrying about your logo and start working on some crackin' policy.

I guess the trunk is blue because it's the Tory colour. But it doesn't really scream politicial party to me. On the other hand, it may be that screaming 'politics' to anyone these days gets them running away, so they feel a softer approach is needed? Statues of Maggie as Boadicea don't really do it these days, Loosehead, sorry.

[joko]

i know sometimes these 'swishy, arty and carefully scrawled looking designs can be great and work well, but it actually takes a lot of effort to get it to look good and look like it was just a flick of the wrist, but this one just literally looks like a scribble!!
it is really badly executed and fools no-one as to what the tories are really all about

the design company must be laughing their heads off!!

i am in the wrong design business

[jno]

bear in mind that the party had a perfectly good logo already, brawny arm holding torch of liberty or something. Only people weren't voting Conservative. Personally, I'd say this was a good time to try something new... but then I'm not small-c conservative; real conservatives hate change at any time!

[Lorcan]

Pathetic. I can undersstnd a tree as a symbol but I have no ideas as to why it should be scribbley and childish.
Maybe they're trying to suggest that the Tories will grow and improve, like a toddler does.
In choosing that symbol Cameron makes his party seem unprofessional as Labour's and Libdems symbols look adult.

[jno]

no, that's not how a toddler draws trees. In fact, if you look at it, it's similar in outline (not counting the trunk) to the torch in the old logo, though clearly done in an impressionistic style. It's quite sophisticated - only an adult could have done it - but exactly why it should look sketchy rather than fully finished, I don't know
