Comments on: Have the Tories changed their logo again? http://www.tom-watson.co.uk/2007/08/have-the-tories-changed-their-logo-again/ The inside track since 2003 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:10:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Michael P http://www.tom-watson.co.uk/2007/08/have-the-tories-changed-their-logo-again/comment-page-1/#comment-12853 Michael P Fri, 10 Aug 2007 09:07:32 +0000 http://www.tom-watson.co.uk/?p=1415#comment-12853 Anyone in any doubt about the Conservative Party's commitment to substance over style should consult by far the most substantial official document published by Head Office since Cameron came to power. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: "The New Logo & Party Visual Identity - A User's Guide" http://www.conservatives.com/getfile.cfm?file=styleguidelines-2007&ref=CAMPTEMP/103&type=pdf "If you are using a Risograph printer and are able to switch drums, please change your drum to ‘blue’ AND ‘368 green’. Visit Concept for more details on replacing drums and suppliers. Your agent or organising secretary will have access to Concept. <b>If both of these colours are available, the logo should appear in full colour.</b> If blue is the only colour available (other than black), please use the monotone blue version of the logo. The positive logo (blue on white) should be used, however, in some circumstances the logo can be reversed out of blue." Well, quite. Anyone in any doubt about the Conservative Party’s commitment to substance over style should consult by far the most substantial official document published by Head Office since Cameron came to power.

“If you are using a Risograph printer and are able to switch drums, please change your drum to ‘blue’
AND ‘368 green’. Visit Concept for more details on replacing drums and suppliers. Your agent or
organising secretary will have access to Concept.

If both of these colours are available, the logo should appear in full colour.

If blue is the only colour available (other than black), please use the monotone blue version of the
logo. The positive logo (blue on white) should be used, however, in some circumstances the logo can
be reversed out of blue.”

Well, quite.

Check out www.conservativehome.co.uk for a debate on this change.....I've read a few comments and I'm still laughing. Do this lot really expect to be in government!
