1.No implied or explicit reference to this Toytown UA being merely a transitionary stepping stone to the future PROPER CORNISH ASSEMBLY.
2.No bilinguality.
3.No classic CORNISH 'iconic'(sic) content.
Would Whalley's dictatorial ass fit nicely on the sharp ends of that insipid and meaningless 'contemporary' Lib nonDem subliminal colour indoctrination flame logo-lite?
PS A lot of money could be saved by applying tippex on existing stationery to 'deliver' 'Cornwall Council'!
3/ Onen hag Oll – One and All. Has this motto been dropped from Cornwall Council?
4/ I see that the word county has been dropped; does the council now consider Cornwall to be a region?
5/ The new logo looks a bit like the British Gas logo. Any comments?
The reply I got was:
Hi Nigel
1 and 2 As in my press release, the logo has been developed by the in house team here at county hall so has not cost anything.
3 There is still more work to do as we develop clear guidelines on how the logo will be used including decisions on straplines.
4. The name of the new council is Cornwall Council It will be a new council made up from the existing 7 councils. Cornwall is still a county.
5 I don’t know what the British gas logo is like but I think the new logo is fantastic – it brings together the traditional elements of the Cornish shield and tartan in a really dynamic way. We have had lots of really positive feedback already from our staff.
Kind regards

How about running a parallel but heavyweight and serious logo design event at 'Cornish World'/C24 and having a 'Vote!' at C24 when the submissions date has been reached.
PS Perhaps you could write back to your correspondent and request historical backup for the point of view that 'Cornwall is still a county'.
Elements of the Shield, It's got a pointy bit at the bottom, and......well,........it's got a pointy bit at the bottom. Yes, I can see how that is a traditional element of a shield.
Ah, so the "in house team" work for free then.
Or, "the in house team" did this work as unpaid overtime, whilst chipping in some money to cover electric and other materials used then.
Or, do they really mean that we've paid for it from our council tax.
Any negative feedback?
Is this the same staff that are so loyal that they work for free, or possibly the ones who might be concerned for their jobs in the future, and do not want to rock the boat.
Personally, I think that it is on a par with the famed London Olympic logo, a childish splodge designed by someone who has taken far too much recreational drugs. Whats worse, despite their claim to the contrary, we paid for it.

"Everyone has their own particular part to play. No part is too great or too small, no one is too old or too young to do something."
Can I ask - Is anyone in the "county" council voted for?
I put the same arguement as always, and would be grateful for it to be forwarded to this man.
From Oxford dictionary:
"Domain of a count"
Have you ever heard of a Count of Cornwall? I have not. Is he some secret, shy figure? I know we have the DUKE of Cornwall.
Oh no, but look at this, aain from Oxford
The territory of a DUKE. Well, doesnt that blow your claim out of the water.
So, lets have a look at this.
A county is territory of a count or countess
A duchy is a territory of a duke or duchess
Cornwall is territory of a duke, therefore surely, corresponding to the above statements, published by one of the leading English dictionaries, it should be a Duchy.
Sorry to destroy your frankly mis-informed claims of the constitutional status of Cornwall.

PS - Are they going to do a 1984 (Orwell) and start changing dictionaries lol
the reason it is Cornwall counsil and not county counsil is it is a DISTRECT council of the south west reagion and is defined as such in the bill which set it up. This it NOTany consesion to an assembly just the opposite. Ever felt you've been had?.
