A new logo for the EU
Seems the EU are looking for a new slogan so they’re launching a competition to get “young European designers” to do the work for them help out. We can’t resist competitions (or big cash prizes) here at Vox Polis so here are a few suggestions -
- Now with 10% extra Eurocrats!!!
- Forward into complexity
- Just say yes (new logo being some kind of swooshy design)
- United in homogeneity
- Better than Kilroy
- States, United (new logo - some arrangement of 6 stars and 25 stripes)
As for a serious suggestions I’m not feeling particularly inspired right now. ‘United in diversity’ is actually pretty good and is the kind of not stupidly over confident thing that I’d come up with myself. The best thing I can think of right now is ‘Freedom together’. Suggestions (especially of the prize winning kind) from our loyal cadre of readers are welcome.

The EU - like Europe, but more!
Serious slogans are even more inane than joke ones - a pointless, unnecessary “because we have to have one” creation. (Draw your own parallels there.)
A more honest suggestion would be something along the lines of: “Europe, thanks to hundreds of years of organic growth, mutual confrontation, internal reconciliation and trial-and-error we were allowed to reach our own generally satisfactory equilibrium”. Snappy.

Slogan? Why? Is the EU becoming a corporation? Will there be T-shirts, bumper stickers?

How about “We still enjoy life”

the EU already has the stickers and t-shirts. Dont forget that one of my previous posts said that its advertising to display the EU flag. There’s also alot of people in the UK that wish is was more like a corporation…

[...] It seems that the EU has decided to limit its 50th anniversary celebrations planned for next year. Originally there were to be 50 days of fireworks, parties, flag waving and fun. Now instead they’ve chosen some sickening exciting plans for citizen ambassadors who will tell how the EU influnces their lives. I wonder if they’ve also cancelled the motto/flag competition?! [...]
