A committee behind the setting up of Cornwall's new unitary authority have come up with a new logo - and it is expected it will cause considerable discussion and receive much criticism.
It is said to be a dynamic new corporate identity made by members of the Implementation Executive.
"Based on the shield from Cornwall's ceremonial crest, the new logo is inspiring and dynamic, bringing a contemporary modern feel to the best of Cornish tradition. Interweaving lines of gold and black bring to mind the Cornish tartan and represent the ways in which Cornish communities connect together. The positive, dynamic lines of the design represent growth and movement," said a council statement.
David Whalley, who chairs the committee as well as being the current leader of the county council reckons: "it is creating a fresh new council for Cornwall and it is important that this is recognised with a new modern identity. However, we have not cast tradition aside. This new logo has elements of Cornish history at its very core."
Just how much it has all cost and what the public thinks is another matter. What do you think having looked at the log on the right? Your comments below please.
