Egyptian pollitical party emblems
The BBC last Monday reported:
Voting is under way in Egypt, in the first elections since President Hosni Mubarak was toppled in February. There is a long list of parties, each with its own logo, such as a food blender, a traffic light and a vacuum cleaner.
I’ve put the link to the full story in the comments-board below.
Right now, I’m reflecting on how the Labour Party’s torch fits into all this.
Stylised, but still a torch

Don’t tell me Jeffrey is the candidate with the toothbrush party……
Running out of anything spicy to report? What a pity….please give us the sleazy stuff, and your venom vomited all over it. I find it all so orgasmic when you’re your worst.
Give them a break, poor things, what between kinky emails, missing ferries, delaying intercontinental flights, racist slurs, binge drinking, bitching on Facebook, riding elephants, hitching prostitutes, failing exams, getting punched in the nose, singing carols in broad daylight, cooking qualifications and fondling rubber bosoms on TV, they’ve run out of oomph.
Jason Micallef is being honest about l-orizzont…

No prizes for guessing what the emblem for Anglu Farrugia’s party would be.
Daphne, these aren’t party logos but individual candidates’ symbols. They are for the illiterate so that it would be easier for them to find their representatives on the ballot sheets.
[Daphne – Exactly. That’s the point. It was the same with Malta’s political parties too, which is why the emblems achieved predominance over the party name, especially with Labour.]
YOU are wrong… seems like you need to open a history book. ON the other hand what shall we say about the PN emblem which is designed in accordance with the Fascist party emblem back pre World War, when the PN’s ties with Italy and presenting itself as a pro-italian party were clearly identifiable. Such are the roots of the party which represents us in government today.
[Daphne – I so love being told by people half my age and with the IQ of a dead slug that I need to open a history book. Keep at it, sugar.]
Don’t worry, I will. Keep those comments coming Daphne, they satisfy my expectations.
[Daphne – Well, it’s cheaper than buying yourself a fetish magazine, I suppose.]
Will someone tell me what’s so taboo about acknowledging a good proportion of this country’s ancestry? Is it because it renders futile the notion of race, read gens?
BC, refusing to recognise this will not attenuate the sense of inadequacy present in people like you. When you do, idiots like Lowell fill that space with his duce antics.
How about a pumpkin logo?
“If you’re a multinational company whose business involves burying nuclear waste under children’s playgrounds, go counter-intuitive – pick a puppy holding a daisy in its teeth. ”
Under Labour, we live in the dark ages. Hence the torch.
It will have to be something really important they all aspire to. A full head of hair for Joseph, perhaps. Or an elephant big enough for Anglu to ride triumphantly into Castille on. The possibilities are endless.
Oh! Don’t tell me that Joseph Muscat is the candidate with the spirit-level party or Franco Debono with the justice party – blindfolded woman with the scale of justice in her hand?
