It is not the yellow spiral as above but has a white center to boot. A green party candidate just had his kick-off party last night at his restaurant across the street from where I live. The logo was on posters on the window. I do like sunflowers. They can clean nuclear contamination from ponds (using hydroponic rafts). I did see a green logo that showed an earth enclosed in a flower, two toned green. Why can't they use that, or is BP influencing the design $$$$$$$$$?????gulftangofoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10587120605795150989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-45871385661364934452010-07-04T09:46:01.720-05:002010-07-04T09:46:01.720-05:00BP chose it's logo to ape the Green Party; not...BP chose it's logo to ape the Green Party; not the other way around.<br /><br />It was all part of BP's P.R. greenwashing campaign "Beyond Petroleum".<br /><br />The GP logo is an abstracted Sunflower. Green Parties have also used more realistic depictions of the sunflower as well; perhaps they should go back to it.<br /><br />The Greens in Germany in the 1970s used to block nuclear plant construction and raise all kinds of havoc, but today they're totally mainstreamed and some of their members even support the German contribution to war effort in Afghanistan! Which is crazy, I don't know how they get around the Grundgesetz on that one, but there you go.<br /><br />I'd have a lot more respect for the US Greens if they were more like the German GrĂ¼nen of 1970s yore. I'm dismayed when they accept funds from GOP sources. Another Branch of the GOP is the tea baggers and some Libertarians, although in races where it's a Libertarian versus a GOPer, I hold my nose and vote for the Libertarian every time.<br /><br />We need instant runoff voting to cancel out the "spoiler effect" that benefits Republicans. Also, having more Libertarians on the ballot would draw votes away from GOP'ers, especially the social conservative jackasses. Both major parties collude to keep out 3rd and 4th parties in ways that are nothing short of shameful.JJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373297787542059116noreply@blogger.com
