A new logo for Trades Union Councils
A logo for trades union councils
The trades union council movement has never had a logo it can call its own but now it does!
Trades union councils are on the up not just in terms of numbers - 47 new trades union councils in the last two years - but also in terms of greater activism and a higher profile in their local communities, working with anti-cuts campaigns to defend jobs and services and to argue for the alternative. Trades union councils played a major part in the success of the demonstrations in March and November last year and again on 20 October.
The TUCJCC wanted something that people inside and outside the union movement would instantly recognise as meaning trades union council. So it asked trades union councils to design one.
Carla Paillard from Merseyside County Association of Trades Union Councils entered the winning design. So £50 of book tokens are on their way to her while Merseyside receives £200. Congratulations. The three runners up were from Dorchester, Southampton and Wolverhampton - click on the names to see their entry.
The winning design can be downloaded, in a variety of formats, from the Trades Union Councils logo page.
This link also sets out the art work for the design with simple guidance on the best way to use it. All trades union councils are encouraged to include it in their printed and campaigning material.
Our thanks to Bob Crow, RMT General Secretary, Andy Wheatley from the design company rima design and Rob Sanders, from the TUC's Campaigns and Communications Department, who acted as our judging panel. Thanks to Andy who also worked-up the entries to a finished standard.
