      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.

     I agree. At the moment the party is hidden behind a multitude of designs and logos. It should not be left to individuals and branches to decide which log to use.

    What we need in the first instance, is an Image, that is conducive to and aligned with "our aim". The use of archaic terminology, ie Great Britain is, IMHO, an anchor to an outdated and failed past and "does not" reflect our objective.

    Like here perhaps?

    The title The Socialist Party "of Great Britain", is distinct from the message below it!

    Or perhaps it was the terminology "in" the message, one was refering to?

    I note with interest that there is no mention of world socialism, instead what we have is "…and calls upon the members of the working class of this country…"

    It's great to see a branch getting stuck in, reminds me of when I was in the North East branch.One small criticism, though perhaps not so small given the recent discussions on this site about Party identity and confusion over multiple names. The lead sentence at the top has the Party going by the name of Socialist Party.

    Here's a rather fuzzy screenshot of the Ad in one of the local Sussex newspapers.  I'm told it's much better 'in the flesh'.

    Just wondering what that cost? Nice size – noticeable!

    Well done.Once again i have to say we should be spending more money in our advertising of meetings and of the party generally. In my experience,  local papers are usually read from front page to the back page, particularly the classifieds, unlike the nationals when only a few sections get read and the other bits are merely skimmed.Also worth exploring are the local university/college newspapers.

    £90 + VAT.  The paper is the Mid Sussex Leader and it's distributed free.  The Ad appeared in Thurday's (Nov 6th) edition.  A similar Ad appeared in The Argus, which is a paid-for paper, on Tuesday (Nov 4th).

    Thought the advert was particularly striking. Pity about the name.No doubt you know this, but the 'Leader' digital version can be seen here:-http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/Launch.aspx?PBID=6e6791f3-1f34-46e4-8072-e4e1fd19e277
